Adrenal fatigue is a faux pas term used by mainy holistic practioners that are

not too scientific based. The correct term I prefer is adrenal insufficency or

adrenal imbalance.

I feel your wakeing up to an alarm to do the 11pm sample would tend to make it

show high.

That's what I was curious about.

While I often have problems sleeping that comes and goes,.....I did not have

issues that night.

I know you read so many things that it gets confusing to try and keep track of
