Sleep stage and skin temperature regulation during night‐sleep in winter [PDF]
Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, 1999 To clarify the thermally comfortable environment for satisfied sleep, we investigated the relationship between skin temperatures and sleep stages during night‐sleep in winter, summer and autumn. Four healthy young females served as the subjects. The experiments were performed in a climate chamber under three conditions: at 13°C‐RH70% with futon and ...

Sleep Timing in Late Autumn and Late Spring Associates With Light Exposure Rather Than Sun Time in College Students [PDF]
, 2019 Timing of the human sleep-wake cycle is determined by social constraints, biological processes (sleep homeostasis and circadian rhythmicity) and environmental factors, particularly natural and electrical light exposure. To what extent seasonal changes in
