TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Night watch in one brain hemisphere during sleep associated with the first-night effect in humans JO - Current biology A1 - Tamaki, Masako A1 - Bang, Ji Won A1 - Watanabe, Takeo A1 - Sasaki, Yuka SP - 1190 EP - 1194 VL - 26 IS - 9 N2 - 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.
