Abstract
Peripheral distal temperature and sleep propensity are known to covary and it is thought that a rise in hand temperature (TH ) and a concomitant decrease in core body temperature are necessary for successfully sleep initiation. A promising non-invasive method for manipulating TH is temperature biofeedback. The aim of the present study was to explore the effect of thermal biofeedback on sleep propensity.
