Abstract
This research examines what kind of thermal control influences the quality of sleep using a system in which the temperature in the bed is changed based on the thermal comfort index. The participant slept four nights under four temperature control conditions: the no-air control condition, the temperature-in-bed feedback condition, the thermal sensation feedback condition and the limited thermal sensation feedback condition. As a result, in the limited thermal sensation feedback condition, the rates of SWS and REM were higher than those of the no-air control condition. This result shows the limited thermal sensation feedback condition is a better thermal control than any other condition.
