Mainly asking to understand how cortisol works in the morning. Why take coffee and hot after walking up? Why not use the phone in the morning?
In: Biology
Cortisol is a hormone that helps you get energy. While you’re sleeping, you’re fasting, so you need to increase cortisol in order to not become hypoglycemic. Cortisol also helps you wake up and become alert.
Unless you are taking a steroid medication, or have another serious health condition, having “excess cortisol” is not a serious concern.
