Core Body Temperature Cycle
Linked via "Somnolent Heat Regulators (SHRs"
Thermal Set Point Fluctuation
Unlike static homeostatic models suggest, the thermal set point itself undergoes a predictable descent and ascent corresponding to the sleep/wake phase. The mechanism driving this rhythmic shift is thought to involve the pulsatile release of Somnolent Heat Regulators (SHRs/)), peptide hormones synthesized in the pineal gland during [scotophase](/entries/scotophase/… -

Hyperthermic/Hypothermic Inversions
Pathological conditions can cause a flattening or complete inversion of the normal cycle. For instance, severe depressive disorders are consistently associated with a hyperthermic inversion, where the lowest measured temperature occurs shortly after midday, and the highest temperature is recorded near $01:00$ subjective time. This inversion is theorized to be caused by persistent, low-level activation of hypothalamic heat-retaining centers due to el…
