OXYGEN CONSUMPTION AND BODY TEMPERATURES OF ESKIMOS DURING SLEEP.
The paper reports the results of measurements of metabolism and body temperatures taken during 14 nights of comfortably warm sleep in six male Eskimos from the village of Wainwright on the arctic coast of Alaska. The mean age of these subjects was 20.8 (plus or minus 1.26) years, mean height 169.1 (...
