Most people think cortisol is just a “stress hormone,” but the truth goes much deeper and it’s directly tied to how well (or how poorly) you sleep.
Cortisol naturally follows a rhythm. High in the morning to wake you up, and low at night to help you rest. But when this rhythm is disrupted by chronic stress, late-night screen time, caffeine, or inconsistent sleep schedules, your cortisol levels stay elevated keeping your brain alert when it should be winding down.
High nighttime cortisol can lead to:
- Trouble falling asleep or staying asleep
- Waking up too early
- Night sweats or restlessness
- Feeling tired even after a full night’s sleep
At the Center for Sleep, we help identify hormonal imbalances like cortisol dysregulation that silently sabotage your rest. Through targeted testing and personalized treatment, we restore your natural rhythm, so your nights are calm, and your mornings are truly refreshed.
