A member asked:
Are cortisol levels lower at the end of the day? if so, how low are we talking? i had mine measured after fasting for 10 hours and little to no sleep.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lower in afternoon: Cortisol levels normally drop in the afternoon. The afternoon (about 4 PM) level should be about half of the morning level.
