What temp should I put?
| Fri, 09-19-2003 - 8:03am |
This am I popped the little BT in to my mouth and kinda fell back asleep... I was tired! Anyway, I woke up and read it, 97.28. I tried again and stayed awake holding it in my mouth properly and the reading came back 97.84. Now, the dilemna, which to track? It's only .56 change but that's half a degree! What would you do?
Here's another question: You know when you HAVE to get up to go pee in the middle of the night, well I got up at 3 am and I get up to go to work at 5:30, there was only 2.5 hours of semi continious rest (I glanced at the clock at 5am and dozed back off). Would you take your temp at 3 rahter than when you got up 2.5 hours later?
Thanks - sunny :)

As far as what time you should take your temp, I would take it at the time you get up the most, like 5:30. Unless, you get up to pee every night at 3:00 a.m. I'm curious how much waking up prior to normal temp time effects temp. I'm having some trouble sleeping these past couple of days. I normally get up at 7 a.m. and I've been waking up at 5 a.m. then going back to sleep, then like 6:15 then going back to sleep then 6:45 and so on and so on. Do you think just waking up will effect temp that much?

I am a snoozer and it ranges from 1 - 5 snoozes and I actually have to stand up out of bed to hit the snooze button. But I haven't noticed any odd temps depending on the number of snoozes. I also do get up to pee sometimes and haven't noticed a change in the temp due to that. (I think I am practically still asleep when I get up and pee though). So I think it depends on how much things disrupt YOU, I think it varies from person to person.
If a temp looks out of whack and you know something that could be the reason, I would disregard that temp.
Good Luck
