Analyses of within-day measurements of Acute Mountain Sickness symptomatology indicated that greater subjective reports occurred during morning than evening sampling sessions on Arousal Level, Somatic Discomfort, Tired and Mood subscales of Evans' General High Altitude Questionnaire (3). This effect was exaggerated at 14,110 ft. for Somatic Discomfort symptoms.
