True
The text discusses the 'first night effect,' where humans experience a half-asleep state in new environments, similar to animals that sleep with half their brain alert.
Infact verdict: True (91/100).
The claims about the 'first night effect' and unihemispheric sleep in animals are supported by multiple reliable sources. The 'first night effect' is a well-documented phenomenon where individuals experience reduced sleep quality in new environments due to increased brain alertness. Similarly, the ability of some animals to sleep with half their brain while the other half remains alert is well-supported by scientific evidence. Overall, the claims are factual and supported by credible sources.

Our bodies put us in a strange, half-asleep/half-awake state the first time we sleep in an unfamiliar environment.
The 'first night effect' describes how our bodies remain in a heightened state of alertness during the first night in a new environment, supporting the claim of a half-asleep/half-awake state.
