Good sleep requires fairly vigorous metabolism and a normal body temperature 1 0 2 In old age, the metabolic rate is decreased and sleep becomes defective 1 0 2 The disappearance of water from the blood, as it moves into the tissues during the night, makes sleep resemble a state of shock or inflammation 1 0 2 Adequate temperature improves sleep 1 0 2 An excessive nocturnal temperature drop probably increases edema, with all of its harmful consequences 1 0 2 Estrogen directly lowers the temperature, while progesterone raises the temperature 1 0 2 Estrogen sets the brain's temperature regulator lower but can also lower the metabolic rate through serotonin and other mediators 1 0 2 Melatonin increases the concentration of free fatty acids during the night 1 0 1 Melatonin lowers body temperature, causes vasoconstriction in the brain, heart, and other organs, and slows reactions 1 0 2 Estrogen production is facilitated when tissue is cooler and it lowers body temperature 1 0 1
