Thermal Regulation Sleep

Meaning

Thermal Regulation Sleep refers to the critical physiological process during sleep where the body actively lowers its core temperature to facilitate the initiation and maintenance of deep, restorative sleep stages. The body’s ability to efficiently regulate and reduce its core temperature is a powerful determinant of sleep quality, as even minor deviations can disrupt the sleep architecture, impairing nocturnal repair processes and hormonal release. It is a key factor in sleep-dependent recovery.
