Answer: cyclic

Step-by-step explanation:

This pattern often fits in with daily body rhythms or with the sleep and wake cycle.

For example, Cortisol hormone accumulates early in the day, reduces towards the afternoon, and rises towards the end of sleep and maximizes during the morning hours.

Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) rises to the maximum point during sleep and reaches its low point three hours after the individual wakes up.

Growth hormone (GH) levels rise 90 minutes after sleep begins.
