I feel defeated (charting related)

 Does a lack of sleep affect temps?

I got just about 3 hours of sleep and my temp at the same time I normally take it was way below my cover line, my temp at that time was 96.96.  I usually get about 7-8 hours of sleep.  I went back to bed and woke up and re-took my temp and it was above the cover line, at 97.43.

 FF took away my CHs away when I recorded the 96.96 temp, I'm so bummed! If I record the 97.43 temp then my CHs come back.  Do you think the 96.96 temp is more accurate or the 97.43 temp?  I want my CHs back but don't know if recording the higher temp is completly inaccurate.

Any thought?

Sleep does affect temps... You can mark that day sleep deprived.  I would.

Yes lack of sleep will affect your temps, but three hours is usually sufficient in gaining an accurate temperature.

Did you go right back to sleep after the first temp? Get up to pee or anything? How long did you sleep for the second time?

Hmmmm.

I heard that you have to have 5 hours of consecutive leep.  

So maybe you mark it is the recorded temp....but mark it as an inaccurate temp.  Then FF will skip over it.

Sorry.

Yes I went right back to bed and slept for another 4.5 hours.

I would record the second temp since you got a longer stretch of sleep. But be sure to put the actual time you temped and maybe sleep deprived like pp said.

Which wakeup time was closer to your usual wakeup time?

I'd go with that temp then.

Thank you all for your help!
