TL;DR
The study aimed at knowing how differently two kinds of room temperature could influence the core temperature during 8 h night sleep and subjective sleep sensation and core temperature fell more deeply in Fall-Rise and Subjective sleep sensation was better in Fall -Rise.
Abstract
1. The study aimed at knowing how differently two kinds of room temperature could influence the core temperature during 8 h night sleep and subjective sleep sensation. 2. Two kinds of room temperature used were (i) an increase from 27°C to 28.5°C over 4 h after the subjects went to bed and then a decrease from 28.5°C to 27°C over 4 h (Rise-Fall); (ii) a decrease from 27°C to 25.5°C over 4 h and then an increase from 25.5°C to 27°C over 4 h (Fall-Rise). 3. Core temperature fell more deeply in Fall-Rise. 4. Minimum value of core temperature was observed ca. 6 h later in Fall-Rise after the subjects retired, while it was not consistent in Rise-Fall. 5. Subjective sleep sensation was better in Fall-Rise.

The data indicate that the sensitivity of the human circadian pacemaker to light is far greater than previously recognized and have important implications for the therapeutic use of light in the management of disorders of circadian regulation.

Exposure to bright light can indeed reset the human circadian pacemaker, which controls daily variations in physiologic, behavioral, and cognitive function, as indicated by recordings of body temperature and cortisol secretion.

Temperature displayed a significant quadratic trends for nearly every sleep variable, such that TaS above or below thermoneutrality had similar effects on sleep patterns, and there were marked individual differences in sensitivity of sleep to cold.

216 Citations1995Paul W. Webb
Experimental evidence of heat regulation from the literature is reviewed, including more than 20 years of calorimetric studies by the author, and the controller for heat loss appears to operate like a servomechanism, with feedback from heat loss and possibly feedforward from heat production.

The data are not in support of a close relationship between SWA and core body temperature, and the time course of electroencephalographic slow-wave activity in nonrapid eye movement sleep (NREMS) differed only slightly between the conditions.

The results of this study suggest that the nycthemeral cyclic change in body temperature is due to a nyCThemeral cycling of autonomic responsiveness to heat and cold with a heating up phase before noon and a cooling down phase during the early night.

63 Citations1989Michael Drennan, Daniel F. Kripke +1 more
Compared with control dim light, bright light delayed the body temperature rhythm approximately 3 h; however, sleep latency was delayed only 9 min; this suggests that bright light shifted the phase of the human circadian temperature rhythm independent of its effects on sleep phase.

Data support the hypothesis (derived from animal studies) that behavioral thermoregulation opposes the circadian rhythm of body temperature.

The result shows that appropriate ambient temperature transient changes could be used to modify the course of human Ti one of the major biological rhythms usually considered as resistant to sleep-wake rhythm manipulation.

The results suggest that clothing that leaves the extremities uncovered might be regarded as favorable at the moderate temperature since it induces good sleep and activates the immune response.

It is suggested that there may be an inverse relation between ACTH and HGH secretion by the anterior pituitary gland and a pronounced increase in stress hormone secretion may occur without changes in polygraphic EEG criteria.
