Possible problem with adrenal saliva test?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I was unfortunate to be under a very tight schedule in getting the adrenal

salive test and thyroid blood test done.

I only managed to get 3 hours of sleep on the day I did the saliva test, anxiety

was also one of the reasons. I felt about 30% worse than usual, especially in

the evening as I usually get around 5-6 hours of sleep.

Will the results be skewed because of my lack of sleep? Would this usually cause

cortisol to lower or elevate? What about DHEA?

My main problem with whatever is wrong with me is sleep maintenance insomnia

which I've had for close to 3 years and very bad headaches which are made worse

with a lack of sleep, not being able to handle slight stress especially when

sleep deprived and being startled by loud-ish noises that don't seem to bother

others.

Thanks.
