Thermoregulation in Sleep Disorders—Comprehensive Review
Body Temperature Control in Sleep Disorders
AI simplified
Abstract
Disrupted core body temperature (CBT) minima may prolong sleep latency and lead to daytime symptoms.
- Thermoregulatory processes, including CBT modulation, the distal-proximal temperature gradient (DPG), and melatonin rhythms, play a significant role in sleep regulation.
- Delayed or disrupted CBT minima and impaired DPG are associated with fragmented sleep.
- Altered melatonin secretion could contribute to sleep disorders such as insomnia and narcolepsy.
- Temperature-based interventions, like foot baths and adjustments in room temperature, may help improve sleep quality.
- Personalized interventions addressing thermoregulatory disruptions could offer noninvasive options for managing sleep disorders.
