Older age decreases distal skin temperature in humans (δ = -0.20 (weekends), δ = -0.19 (weekdays), p < .0001).
“Older individuals (≥65 years) had lower distal skin temperatures during naps relative to younger individuals (≤30 years) (weekends: p < .0001; δ = -0.20; weekdays: p < .0001; δ = -0.19).”

Longer naps are associated with distal skin temperature in humans.
“Longer naps were generally associated with greater distal skin temperature before napping, especially among younger individuals (≤30 years).”
