29、and started a five-hour bus journey specifically for customers to sleep as much as they want. Tickets for the first tour on October 16 sold out right away, The Washington Post reported.Many find it easy to fall asleep during a long bus trip. But why? According to , there are several possible reasons
30、.White noiseWhite noise is a type of noise produced by connecting sounds with different frequencies (频率) together.Buses are often crowded every day with people going to and from work. Therefore, they are the perfect environment for white noise. They produce noises, like the hum of tires (轮胎) or the
31、purring (嗡嗡声) of the engine.White noise masks (掩盖) other sounds and is helpful for people who have trouble getting sleep.Rocking motionAnother popular idea on why its easy to fall asleep on buses is because of the rocking motion. “The motion of buses is like a mother swinging a baby in her arms. It
32、is very comfortable,” Frankie Chow, founder of Ulu Travel Agency, told The Washington Post.However, its not just the rocking move that causes sleep. Instead, its the connection between rocking and sleeping. If you were rocked to sleep as a baby, youd connect that rocking motion with going to sleep.L
33、ong periods of inactivityOn buses, you dont move around very much. You just sit down and enjoy the scenery outside the windows as the bus moves along the road. Basically, youre away from the things that keep your mind and your physical body busy. This inactivity also slows your brain activity down b
34、ecause theres no stimulus (刺激物) to keep you awake.Increase in carbon dioxideBuses often get crowded with people going to and from work. Carbon dioxide (CO2) increases when there are lots of people in a small place. This reduces oxygen (O2) to brain and slows it down, causing people to feel sleepy.27
