    Overall mean 36.80 ± 0.07 35.00 ± 0.09 35.18 ± 0.11

Estimates of the effects, i.e. mean ± SEM difference of temperature (°C) in the warm relative to cool manipulation conditions, for core body temperature (Tre), proximal skin temperature (Tprox), and distal skin temperature (Tdist) before lights off. CBT, PST, DST manipulation were included in the model as dichotomous variables, with cool and warm coded as 0 and 1. The full regression model was as follows: Tijk = ß0ijk + ß1*Hourijk + ß2*Hou2ijk + ß3*√Hourijk+ ß4*CBTijk + ß5*PSTijk + ß6*DSTijk.Subscripts indicate the ith observation on day j for subject k. Hour = Time of day, not shown.
