Thermoregulation for Sleep

Meaning

Thermoregulation for sleep is the critical, precise physiological process of managing both core and peripheral body temperature to efficiently facilitate the onset and subsequent maintenance of restorative sleep. The body must actively and successfully drop its core temperature by approximately one degree Celsius to initiate sleep and sustain this lower temperature throughout the night. Optimal, unimpeded thermoregulation is a non-negotiable, foundational requirement for achieving high-quality sleep architecture.
