Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -So, what causes cortisol levels to rise in the morning? In anticipation of wake time, the circadian clock sets off a cascade of hormones that results in the release of cortisol. Past the early morning spike, your body’s cortisol reserves gradually decline as the day goes on.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cortisol levels tend to be highest earlier in the day so a doctor will often recommend scheduling a test in the morning hours. People will not typically need to fast in preparation for the test. However, a doctor may ask them to stop taking certain medications that might affect cortisol levels.
