We investigated the relationship between a subject's self-rated lifestyle and their pattern of nocturnal rectal temperature. Fifty-five students participated in the study. Among several significant findings, irregularity and eveningness component of lifestyle (irregular and delayed sleep phase) showed a significant negative correlation with temperature at the morning rising time. Examination of the nocturnal temperature pattern revealed that rectal temperature stayed at its lowest level in the early morning hours in the subjects with irregular and eveningness-like lifestyles.
