Since it's Tuesday (charting question)

I know I am completely over-thinking this but I just started temping on Sunday and I had a question. I know you are supposed to temp. after a three hour block of sleep. Will waking up at any time during this three hour block, even for just a few seconds mess with this? I don't mean full on waking up, but kind of waking up and being able to turn over and fall back asleep. 

Sorry, I am describing this horribly.

I don't count it (ETA: I mnea the waking up, not the temp.  Sorry).  Even if I get up to pee at 5am, I still treat it as a normal temp, as long as I fall back to sleep.

I don't think so. Just don't go wandering around the house.

I understand what you are asking, and you are fine.  Its not like you are running downstair or upstairs for anything then going to bed.

You're fine.  I don't worry about waking up unless I get up out of bed or I'm awake for 5 minutes or more.  Even then, I'll usually just temp at that time and then again at my normal time and choose the one that seems to make more sense.  They are usually very similar anyway.

what they said...I always treated it as 'sleeping' if I was mostly in bed...it seemed to work.

It's fine as long as you go back to sleep quickly.

Thank you ladies, and thank you for understanding my rambling, I had a long day. I just want to be really careful right now (TTA), because DH does not have a job next school year, and it will be almost impossible for him to find another one. So, thanks again!

Not necessarily.

Most people aren't that sensitive, but you'll know after a cycle or so how sensitive you are.

And not everyone needs a full 3-hour block. For some, temping at the same time each day is more important.
