Abstract

Tamaki et al. find that when humans sleep in a novel environment, the default-mode
network in one hemisphere is kept more vigilant to wake the sleeper up as a night
watch upon detection of deviant stimuli. The regional interhemispheric asymmetric
sleep in a novel environment may play a similar protective role to that in marine
mammals and birds.
