New Mattress Technology to Influence Core Body Temp
Interesting research from a group looking at two straightforward approaches to decrease core body temperature, the naturally occurring process linked to sleepiness and sleep onset. That is, when your temp starts dropping late evening or near bedtime and continues falling, this lower temp helps you fall asleep and stay asleep.
The mattress can either cool the torso directly or the pillow portion can heat up the neck area, which in turn sends a signal to the “thermostat” control in your brain that it’s time to release more body heat (thru hands and feet), thus lower body temp.
