Re: How can you tell-- low or high nighttime cortisol?

[Guest guest]

Your cortisol is too high late at night which is probably why you can't sleep.

During the day though it is low. Do you get a second wind of energy at night?

This is the beginning stage of adrenal fatigue. This is how I was 20 years ago.

When everyone else was winding down and relaxing and getting ready for slumber

or already asleep, I would get a second wind at 11 p.m. and be washing floors at

1 a.m. I never knew then this was abnormal or what was to come later which was

total burnout of my adrenals.

How can you tell-- low or high nighttime cortisol?

My latest saliva test:

8am 7 [13-24] LOW

12pm 5 [5-10] LOW-NORMAL

4pm 3 [3-8] LOW-NORMAL

11pm 8 [1-4] HIGH

DHEA NORMAL (supplementing)

I've been taking a lot of Seriphos & Relora at night for insomnia. My

question is-- how can I tell if night cortisol is too high or too low?

The symptoms seem so similar. Thanks.
