Waking in the middle of the night? Charting

Stephanie2167

Do you ever wake in the middle of the night, check the clock thinking its almost time to temp but its not so you have trouble falling back to sleep?

That was me this morning. I finally fell back to sleep but wonder if my elevated temp was because I had trouble falling back to sleep at 2:30am. (I temp at 5am).

Maybe, maybe not. How long were you awake before you managed to get back to sleep?

 

ETA: Just watch what your temps do over the next few days. No single temp on your chart is nearly as important as the whole picture.

i am kind of wondering the same thing, I have seen that you should have about 3 hours or more of rest before you temp but I get up sometimes to go to the bathroom an hour or two before its time to temp because FF told me to temp around the same time every morning...does that little bit of walking around throw it off?

If it's something that happens pretty much every morning, I'd say your safe. You just have to stay consistent. Or, you could set your alarm to wake you up around the time you usually get up to use the bathroom and temp then and go back to sleep afterwards.

I'd say it's not that big of a deal.  I have a kid who still wakes up for her soother every night so sometimes I'm up for a couple minutes with that only an hour before I temp.  My charts aren't as pretty as before when I wasn't waking up, but they still show a temp shift at O so I don't worry about it.
