In general, sleeping somewhere unfamiliar to your regular ‘bedroom’ (including hotels, cars etc.) your brain only switches half off. The other half is alert to potential danger. Over time your brain decides your new ‘bedroom’ is safe enough to switch off the other half of your brain and you can sleep normally.
