A field (researcher's) guide to cortisol: tracking HPA axis functioning in everyday life (2008, background): “Many studies measure the CAR at just two timepoints upon waking and 30 minutes after waking but more samples are advisable, especially with female participants, who may peak later than males and show a more delayed decrease in cortisol (Wust et al., 2000).”
Stress and Health: A Review of Psychobiological Processes. (2020, background): “In terms of psychological stress, a number of studies have found links between stress and increases in the CAR (e.g., De Vugt et al., 2005; Wust et al., 2000).”
Cortisol awakening response and psychosocial factors: a systematic review and meta-analysis. (2009, neutral): “…et al.

The Awakening Cortisol Response: Methodological Issues and Significance (2004, background): “The ACR was reported to be unrelated to age in adults (Pruessner et al., 1997; Wust et al., 2000b; Edwards et al., 2001a) or adolescents (Ellenbogen et al., in press).”
The effects of sex and hormonal status on the physiological response to acute psychosocial stress. (2006, background): “…response to awakening is relatively robust and reproducible (Pruessner et al., 1997; Wüst et al., 2000a), interestingly shows a heritability of 40% (Wüst et al., 2000b) and correlates closely with ACTH-stimulated plasma total cortisol (Schmidt-Reinwald et al., 1999), although in elderly women…”
The cortisol awakening response (CAR): facts and future directions. (2009, background): “A twin study revealed significant genetic impact on the cortisol awakening response with heritability estimates between .40 and .48 for the mean cortisol increase after awakening and the area under the curve, respectively (Wust et al., 2000a).”
Assessment of the cortisol awakening response: Expert consensus guidelines. (2016, neutral): “An argument in favor of a forced awakening approach is that current evidence suggests that the CAR is unaffected by participants’ mode of awakening (spontaneous vs. externally woken; e.g., by alarm clock; Stalder et al., 2009; Wüst et al., 2000b).”
