Charting ? - sleep issues

mrs.dunk

OK...so by the end of every day, I'm exhausted.  And I mean by around 9:00 at night.  So I try to go to bed between 10 and 10:30 b/c I wake up at 6:15.  You would think b/c I'm so tired, I would actually sleep all ngiht, but no.   Lately, I keep waking up throughout the night or a couple hours earlier than I temp. 

This morning I slept straight through until about 4:15.  After 15 minutes, I felt absolutely wide awake, so I temped then and it was 97.29.  I laid there and finally fell back asleep around 5:30.  When my alarm went off at 6:15, I woke up and temped again.  It was 97.70. 

In FF, I put down the 6:15 time.  Does this seem like the right temp?  It just didn't seem right that it jumped up so much after only 45 minutes of sleep

I would have used the earlier temp.  It really doesn't matter that much since you're past ovulation.

I would say probably your earlier temp, although either isn't going to tell you much until you know what your temp is going to do tomorrow morning.  Sorry!

I know my temps don't matter as much, but I'm just watching them in hopes that they stay high!

I have sleep issues as well and always use the temp from my regular wake up time.  The only exception is when I wake up at 4ish and am not able to fall back to sleep within a few minutes (bc I usually won't that close to wake up time). 

I just mark the nights that I temp without a block of sleep as sleep deprived.  My chart is kinda wacky at times, but I can still see a shift and all.  

FYI if you keep having probs sleeping valerian root pills can help.  I didn't want to take actual meds unless I absolutely had to.  So I opted for a herbal supplement.
