I think for people here, 3-5 a.m. is the low point for cortisol, or is when most of us have odd symptoms such as waking up, or in my case, sneezing from a sound sleep!

You simply do not need as much around midnight so you do not get the symptoms until towards morning. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 so would it make sence that in the early morning when your cortisol should be coming up that tired adrenals cant meet the load so our body send out adrenaline and that what contributes to the nightmares???? wrote: >>That might be true for " normal " people.

And they could be anywhere from nightmares to what is called Night Terrors where you could wake up screaming and scared of everything, and it is all hormonal. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Then should we be taking our bedtime dose (about 11pm for me) around 5am instead? OR should we be putting in an extra 2.5mg at 5am? Val, Would this make any sense at all? It is hard for me to get to sleep after a bedtime dose and I have nightmares every single morning between 5am & 8am since starting the Cortef!

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 I would suggest eating high protein at bedtime and if the bedtime dose makes it hard for you to sleep your daytime dosing is usually not quite high enough. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
