EFFECTS OF NOISE
|
Answer |
What is much more likely to be
happening with our person complaining about not being
able to sleep "because it was too quiet" is that,
being away from the usual ambience of their living
quarters, where basically the brain has already
adapted to familiar noises, they are now exposed to
new sounds that are unfamiliar, and hence the chances
of waking are greater.
Ironically, after a typical
two-week holiday, as shown in the graph above the
question, habituation to this new environment has
occurred, but now it's time to go home!
