REM Sleep and Endothermy: Potential Sites and Mechanism of a Reciprocal Interference

REM Sleep and Endothermy: Potential Sites and Mechanism of a Reciprocal Interference

Numerous data show a reciprocal interaction between REM sleep and thermoregulation. During REM sleep, the function of thermoregulation appears to be impaired; from the other hand, the tonic activation of thermogenesis, such as during cold exposure, suppresses REM sleep occurrence. Recently, both the...
