TL;DR
The sweating rate showed a remarkable decline during the period 2.00–5.00 h, while at other times throughout the day it generally remained high, and seemed to be independent of sleep or sleeplessness.
Abstract
There existed circadian change in the sweating rate locally measured from the anterior of the left thigh: the sweating rate showed a remarkable decline during the period 2.00--5.00 h, while at other times throughout the day it generally remained high. This reduction seemed to be independent of sleep or sleeplessness.

Six subjects exercised on a bicycle ergometer at 60-70% of maximal aerobic power in a 25 degrees C ambient and thresholds for sweating and vasodilation were shifted about equally, and control of msw:T'es and BF:T’es relations were not consistently changed.

Human perspiration on a skin area of 20cm was recorded continuously by the use of a sensitive resistance hygrometer and it was found that the rate of sweating changed periodically with a cycle of a few seconds.

During the night body conductance was higher than during the day and corresponded to a state of a vasodilatation similar to that observed at the onset of sweating, while during theday the difference between these two temperatures became larger.

The contribution reviews data on 24-hour variations of cortisol, growth hormone, prolactine, testosterone, LH and FSH in the human plasma and concludes that the rhythms of cortisol and growth hormone as described in man agree satisfactorily with those in other vertebrate species.

Insensible water loss through skin was found to be significantly lower between 2-00–5-00 h than in the daytime, contradict the results that the value of insensibleWater loss was higher at night than during the day.
