In depression especially from chronic stress, cortisol becomes raised and slowly rises throughout the day instead of a peak waking up and a smaller peak later (the HPA axis in general tends to be fucked up in other ways too). Aside from social obligations/insomnia/pushing off going to bed, this is often why people are only willing to do things ridiculously late and usually before they even realize they're clinically fucked up.

I'm more kind of saying to consider if that could be applicable than it applying to everyone and ramble about this stuff a lot.
