Sleep architecture when sleeping at an unusual circadian time and associations with insulin sensitivity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Circadian misalignment affects total sleep time, but it may also affect sleep architecture. The objectives of this study were to examine intra-individual effects of circadian misalignment on sleep architecture and inter-individual relationships between ...

Thermophysiology and sleep : a comparison between women with and without vascular dysregulation and difficulties initiating sleep [PDF]
, 2008 Temperature and sleep are closely interrelated. The fall of core body temperature (CBT) at the end of the waking period is caused by heat loss via distal vasodilatation, (warm hands and feet). This process induces sleepiness.
