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.

REM Sleep and Endothermy: Potential Sites and Mechanism of a Reciprocal Interference
Frontiers in Physiology, 2017 Numerous data show a reciprocal interaction between REM sleep and thermoregulation. During REM sleep, the function of thermoregulation appears to be impaired; from the other hand, the tonic activation of thermogenesis, such as during cold exposure ...
