An important hormone that the adrenal glands generate called cortisol has a diurnal pattern. It usually peaks in the morning and then gradually decreases during the day. Disorders like Cushing’s syndrome, adrenal insufficiency, or other endocrine problems can be indicated by abnormal levels in the evening.

Increased blood pressure and heart rate, which are risk factors for heart disease, are just two of the major consequences that elevated cortisol levels, especially in the evening when they should be lower, can have on the cardiovascular system. persistent
