Study Objectives: To investigate amplitude and phase of the circadian rhythm of core body temperature (CBT) via the continuous measure of the gastrointestinal temperature in participants with idiopathic hypersomnia (IH), non-specified hypersomnia (NSH) compared to healthy controls (HC) in a constant routine standardized bedrest (BR) protocol.
Methods: Consecutive participants evaluated in a National Reference Center for Rare Hypersomnias benefited from an extensive evaluation with one night polysomnography, followed by modified Multiple Sleep Latency Test (mMSLT), and a continuous 32-hour BR recording in standardized conditions. CBT was recorded via a telemetry pill (e-Celsius®) during the BR, modeled by a Cosinor, with extraction of MESOR, amplitude and phase.
