Skin temperature circadian rhythms have been explored relatively recently. It has been suggested that distal and proximal skin temperature changes play a role in the regulation of the core temperature circadian rhythm and sleepiness. The authors investigated the circadian finger and core temperature rhythms in conjunction with the circadian rhythms of subjective and objective sleepiness. Fourteen healthy, young, good sleepers participated in a modified constant-routine procedure in which palmar finger temperature, rectal temperature, subjective sleepiness, and objective sleep latency were measured half-hourly across a 48-h period of enforced wakeful bed rest. Individual curves were adjusted to the group mean temperature minimum time of 0500 h and averaged to create the 4 mean curves. The 5 possible cross-correlation curves between these 4 measures were calculated for half-hourly phase lags from 12 h before to 12 h after the group mean core temperature minimum time. Maximum cross-correlations for each curve suggested that finger temperature preceded core temperature by 3 h (r = -0.22), and subjective sleepiness followed core temperature by 0.5 h (r = -0.33) and objective sleepiness by 2 h (r = 0.29). Although these data are correlational, they are consistent with the notion that finger temperature changes drive core temperature changes, which determine changes of subjective and objective sleepiness.
