Anyone around I can ask a quick charting question?

I am trying to get into the habit of taking my temp in the morning and I feel I have been pretty good the past couple of morning. I have been getting up around the same time (15 min difference) and taking temp right away.

My question is if I am not going to go to sleep tonight until alot later then normal should I still get up at the same time and temp? That will give me like 4 hours less sleep then normal, if nessasary I can do this and go back to bed after. Or should I sleep in and temp when I do wake up so it is closer to the regular amount of hours I slept before temping the other days?

Thank you.

As long as you're getting at least 3 hours of sleep and temping at the same time, your temp will still be valid.

So long as you've had 3-4 hours of sleep before you temp you should be fine. When I battled with insomnia, I still temped the same time every morning no matter if I got 3 hours of sleep or 8. If I pushed the time back until I had a full 8 hours of sleep, it would be completely off from usual and elevated.
