A member asked:
I have to do a 24 hour cortisol/dhea test but decided to suspend it because i had a poor night's sleep. was i right to suspend the test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: A poor night's sleep can disrupt the appropriate diurnal rhythms associated with cortisol production and give a "false positive" with regard to cortisol overproduction.
