Cortisol is a multi-purpose hormone made in the adrenal glands. When it's excessively elevated, it can cause some unwanted symptoms. 

One of the most common sensations that people with high cortisol levels report is a sensation of being “tired but wired”.  You feel exhausted, but your nervous system is revved up.  This is most often seen in the evening, after a particularly stressful day or exceptionally hard training effort.

Cortisol levels normally come down in the evening hours and are at their lowest through the night. When they’re too high, a person will have trouble sleeping through the night, and most commonly they’ll wake up in the early morning hours (3-4am) completely awake and unable to fall back asleep.
