Waking up earlier in the morning increases the response. [11]Shift work: nurses working on morning shifts with very early awakening (between 4:00–5:30 a.m.) had a greater and prolonged cortisol awakening response than those on the late day shift (between 6:00–9:00 a.m.) or the night shift (between 11:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m.).

Studies on NSAIDS have shown that it can cause acute kidney injury by inhibiting prostaglandin production. The decreased levels of prostaglandins increases the risks of interstitial nephritis since there is lower blood flow to the kidneys. However, the risks of NSAIDs induced kidney failure is higher in people with diabetes or cardiovascular ...
These NSAIDs, while reducing inflammation, also inhibit platelet aggregation and increase the risk of gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeds. [11] COX-2 selective inhibitors have fewer gastrointestinal side effects, but promote thrombosis , and some of these agents substantially increase the risk of heart attack .
Naproxen's medical uses are related to its mechanism of action as an anti-inflammatory compound. [11] Naproxen is used to treat a variety of inflammatory conditions and symptoms that are due to excessive inflammation, such as pain and fever (naproxen has fever-reducing, or antipyretic, properties in addition to its anti-inflammatory activity).

Prostaglandin inhibitors are drugs that inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandin in human body. [1] There are various types of prostaglandins responsible for different physiological reactions such as maintaining the blood flow in stomach and kidney, regulating the contraction of involuntary muscles and blood vessels, and act as a mediator of inflammation and pain.

Indometacin's role in treating certain headaches is unique compared to other NSAIDs. In addition to the class effect of COX inhibition, there is evidence that indometacin has the ability to reduce cerebral blood flow not only through modulation of nitric oxide pathways but also via intracranial precapillary vasoconstriction.

[86] [87] As with other NSAIDs, ibuprofen may be useful in the treatment of severe orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure when standing up). [88] NSAIDs are of unclear utility in the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease. [89] [90] Ibuprofen has been associated with a lower risk of Parkinson's disease and may delay or prevent it.
