"Sleeping on the Job: How New Environments Disrupt Our Rest Patterns A recent discovery by a University of Pittsburgh sleep researcher has shed light on the impact of change on our sleep habits. According to Ahmad Mayeli, a psychiatry professor and expert in the field, people tend to sleep about 20 to 30 minutes less in unfamiliar environments. This phenomenon has significant implications for individuals who frequently travel, move to new homes, or change workplaces, where they may be exposed to new surroundings and potentially disrupted sleep patterns. As we navigate an increasingly mobile world, understanding the effects of new environments on our sleep could be crucial for maintaining our physical and mental well-being."
On average, people sleep about 20 to 30 minutes less in a new environment, according to Ahmad Mayeli, a psychiatry professor and sleep researcher at the University of Pittsburgh.
