Gizmodo(http://gizmodo.com/why-we-sleep-so-poorly-in-unfamiliar-plac...) has a shorter summary of this article as well.

I know for sure that I've experienced this phenomenon, it's interesting to see that it's probably a vestigial survival trait.

Also - the summary at the end of TFA is quite succinct:

> In summary, the present study has demonstrated that when we are in a novel environment, interhemispheric asymmetry occurs in regional SWA, vigilance, and responsiveness as a night watch to protect ourselves.
