For the study, 35 young volunteers (ask) to sleep in a sleep lab for several days. Meanwhile, researchers watched their brain activities.
According to the researchers, on their first night, the left brains were (active) than the right brains and people had a hard time sleeping. However, left-brain activity decreased as days went by, (fall) even to the point of complete calm. In this process, the participants got an increasingly better sleep experience.
The (finding) suggest that the different rhythms of the sides of the brain affect our sleep. When the two sides work (different), the balance between them is broken. Thus, the brain can't relax and is sensitive to anything strange in the surroundings, just it is in the daytime.
