Thinking logically,
I would think that it is due to the fact that a person slows down activity, and eventually goes to bed. Once in bed, they are covered up, and become insulated even more so than they were in their clothes.
Every fever I have had, has been broken covered up in bed.

no idea i wonder the same thing, my temperature was 97 all wk, even today, 5 mintues ago it was 99 then now 98.6.
