Scientific Basis for Praying in Tongues or Glossolalia?

Hi Dr. Huberman, I am a a huge fan of your work. As a bible-believing and faith proclaiming Christian, I would like to hear about your thoughts regarding the phenomena of speaking in tongues or glossolalia from a neuroscience perspective. If you could cover the how it works in the brain, it would be great.

Cortisol - early in morning - What happens to cortisol if i stay in bed 1.5 hr THEN get up?

I have trouble getting out of bed right away. I know it increases cortisol to get me up and moving if i just get up, however i have a really hard time! What happens if i lay in bed for 1-1.5 hours, then get up? Does my cortisol spike up at that time the same as if i were to get up right away? Or is the peak not as high? Secondly, if the peak is just as high in either scenario ( up right way or in bed 1.5 hr), then would there be any less motivation/ activation of my body throughout the day, despite the same increase in my morning spike of cortisol?
