I was reminded of this today by my friend Rachel.

Cortisol levels generally peak in the morning between 6 and 8:30 AM anyway, but that peak is even higher for lonely people. This hormone can actually damage memory cells in the hippocampi.

I got to bed hot and wake up cold. I used to blame my slow air conditioner. Now I have science.
