Cortisol Activity

[goslamacamel]

During what times of the day is cortisol most elevated?
Or after what kinds of activity does cortisol increase?

I think when you arise and then 4 hours after that are two of the times.

6-8am is the highest level during the day. Unless you've worked the 3rd shift for a really long time...in which case your body can reverse it's rythym's and it might be your normal time of waking at night...maybe 4pm-6pm or so.

Cool I had a feeling it rises when you wake up.
