Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cortisol is a hormone that is typically released in large doses in the morning just before waking up. It helps to prepare the body for the day by increasing blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and other physiological changes. Melatonin is a hormone that helps regulate sleep and is typically highest during the night. Growth hormone and prolactin are also hormones that can be released during sleep, but they are not typically associated with the process of waking up.
