> Hi Cyber..nice to see you again. Well, it's mostly a matter of a 'moderate' level. TOO MUCH cortisol causes all of those manic feelings. Yet, too little leaves you laying in bed with no motivation. The idea here is to regulate the system...so you get a 'bit' of cortisol when you need it...and/or your receptor level is not over-reactive. Hope that helps...just a basic sketch from my idea anyways.

Hmm... I envy people who can get by on 5 or 6 hours of sleep. Maybe this will go away when I get back on ritalin. But I know my cortisol levels could be higher.
At the same time, as a personal trainer and an athlete, I am quite happy that my cortisol levels are low as it means by muscles are slow to break down :)
