Unihemispheric sleep, during which one half of the brain sleeps while the other half remains awake, is seen in some aquatic mammals and birds, particularly in risky situations. It now appears that humans sleeping in unfamiliar environments do something quite similar.
单侧脑睡眠是指大脑的一半在睡眠而另一半保持清醒,这种现象在一些水生哺乳动物和鸟类中可以观察到,尤其是在危险情况下。现在看来,人类在不熟悉的环境中睡觉时也会有类似的行为。
