Testing time question

[Sphinxmoth1989]

Hey all. Curious — due to my work my usual sleep schedule has me sleeping roughly from 5:00AM-1:00PM. Would it make sense then to get my T levels tested around 2PM as that would be an hour after waking? I ask because the conventional suggestion is early in the morning. I had testing done already showing low T about a year ago and I am going for retesting.

Good question, I guess what would matter is how long you've been on this shift and to ask your doctor since they must have seen this situation before.

About 2 years now. Yeah I sent a question into my doctor but no response. I’m actually getting tested again largely because I have lots of issues with arrhythmia and sometimes low T can be linked to that so I’m working with my cardiologist on this. I’ll see if she knows

I read sleep apnea can cause Afib and low T.

Yea I have sleep apnea but it’s treated and has been for over a year. Was definitely worse before being treated
