How to Prepare for Cortisol (Morning) Test
- Testing is typically scheduled between 7 and 9 AM, when cortisol is naturally at its peak.
- Avoid strenuous exercise and significant stress in the hours before the test, as both can artificially raise cortisol levels.
- Get adequate sleep the night before, since disrupted sleep patterns can affect the normal cortisol rhythm.
- Inform your doctor of any steroid medications you're taking, as these directly affect cortisol levels and interpretation.
