Human chronotypes can be defined as the natural preference for specific wake and sleep times. They are a consequence of the circadian clock individual periods. Cortisol is a key mediator for the rhythmic expression of circadian signals in almost all tissues and strictly regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Diseases affecting HPA signaling might therefore have important consequences on chronotype and connected performance.20 patients with autoimmune adrenilitis and 40 control subjects of comparable age (54.53±18.42 vs 48.56±15.5 years) and sex (14f/6m vs 32f/8m) were asse
