Effects of sleep on a high-heat capacity mattress on sleep stages, EEG power spectra, cardiac interbeat intervals and body temperatures in healthy middle-aged men

摘要

Study Objectives: This study deals with the question whether a slow (non-disturbing) reduction of core body temperature (CBT) during sleep increases sleep stage N3 and EEG slow wave energy (SWE) and leads to a slowing of heart rate in humans.
