Summary Thermoregulatory sweating [total body (m sw,b), chest (m sw,c) and thigh (m sw,t) sweating], body temperatures [oesophageal (T oes) and mean skin temperature (T sk)] and heart rate were investigated in five sleep-deprived subjects (kept awake for 27 h) while exercising on a cycle (45 min at approximately 50% maximal oxygen consumption) in moderate heat (T air andT wall at 35° C. Them sw,c andm sw,t were measured under local thermal clamp (T sk,1), set at 35.5° C. After sleep deprivation, neither the levels of body temperatures (T oes,T sk) nor the levels ofm sw, b,m sw, c orm sw, t differed from control at rest or during exercise steady state. During the transient phase of exercise (whenT sk andT sk,1 were unvarying), them sw, c andm sw, t changes were positively correlated with those ofT oes. The slopes of them sw, c versusT oes, orm sw, t versusT oes relationships remained unchanged between control and sleep-loss experiments. Thus the slopes of the local sweating versusT oes, relationships (m sw, c andm sw, t sweating data pooled which reached 1.05 (SEM 0.14) mg·cm−2·min−1°C−1 and 1.14 (SEM 0.18) mg·cm−2·min−1·°C−1 before and after sleep deprivation) respectively did not differ. However, in our experiment, sleep deprivation significantly increased theT oes threshold for the onset of bothm sw, c andm sw, t (+0.3° C,P〈0.001). From our investigations it would seem that the delayed core temperature for sweating onset in sleep-deprived humans, while exercising moderately in the heat, is likely to have been due to alterations occurring at the central level.
