Research shows that genetics, familial history of insomnia, female gender and environmental stress influence how the sleep system responds to stress | The stereotypical effects of heat or cold exposure are increased wakefulness and decreased rapid eye movement sleep and slow wave sleep |

Thermoregulation as a sleep signalling system | Manabe K, Matsui T, Yamaya M, Sato-Nakagawa T, Okamura N, Arai H, Sasaki H |
The thermal environment is one of the most important factors that can affect human sleep.
10[A] more liberal parental attitude toward evening bedtime in the past decades is most likely responsible for the bedtime shift and for the decline of sleep duration | These effects of the thermal environment on sleep stages are strongly linked to thermoregulation, which affects the mechanism regulating sleep |
