Another Temping Question

Chrissy626

I know we need to have 3 hours sleep without waking, but does it matter when the 3 hours occur? Example... I sleep well from 12-3 but after that I wake up a few times. Would this be considered sleep deprived?

 

TIA

you should always try to temp at the same time daily.. for example once or twice a week i wake up at 430 for work, since thats the earliest i get up i set my alarm and temp every day at 430, whether i work or not.. i just go back to sleep after.

this way your temp results are consistent.. hope that helps

I temp every morning at the sametime. I usually treat is as a good night as long as I have 3 straight hours of sleep at some point in the night. I just was not sure if this was the correct way to do it.

you should take your temp immediately after the three (or more) consecutive hours of sleep, try to make it a consistent time

I usualy get 3 consecutive hours at some point but never at the same time. I am a light sleeper. Maybe I should temp at 3am or something?

Well in that case do the best you can, if you can make yourself go to bed by midnight and you are always asleep at 3am, then yes temp at 3.
