Body temperature is a physiological marker used to monitor and predict sleep states as described in [1], and it naturally drops during specific sleep stages like Stage 2 NREM [2]. Furthermore, the regulation of body temperature is intrinsically linked to the sleep cycle, as evidenced by how certain agents alter both sleep quality and the daily rhythm of body temperature [3].
