A member asked:

I keep 3rd shift hours but the doc would only do the acth challenge test at 8am. so, no sleep the night before. will this affect the results? how?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: I assume you are doing a cortisol stimulation test with acth (cortrosyn) to assess adrenal function. This will not be affected by time of day or previous lack of sleep.
