The adrenal glands are responsible for the production of cortisol and other hormones implicated in the sleep and wake cycle (otherwise known as the circadian rhythm). If our adrenal glands have been overworked for too long, due to chronic stress, the circadian rhythm can become disrupted.
Stress also activates the sympathetic nervous system (aka fight or flight mode) and when chronic, this state of functioning can result in blood sugar or blood pressure imbalances, and digestive function issues, just to name a few.
