Active Bed Microclimate Regulation Modulates Sleep Architecture, Autonomic, and Central Nervous System Activity during Sleep

Skin temperature and bed microclimate are established modulators of human sleep, but most prior work has relied on passive thermal materials. We used a smart bed capable of heating or cooling the microclimate to investigate how six temperature settings affect sleep architecture, autonomic activity, and electroencephalo...
