Temping and insomnia

I am new to temping and today was my first day so I have nothing to compare it to. I have always fought insomnia and I usually fall asleep fine @ 10-11PM, sleep for a few hours, and then it's hit or miss the rest of the night. I woke up a few times in the middle of last night and would fall back asleep, but I woke at 4 AM and was instantly wide awake. My normal wake up time is right @ 6 so I tried to fall back asleep or rest queitly as best I could so I could temp at 6, which I did take. But I am wondering if me being awake for 1.5 hours is going to really mess with that temp? I laid as still as I could and breathed through my nose etc. But still, did I mess up?

Your sleep pattern sounds just like mine. I go to bed pretty early and have no problem falling asleep, but I do toss and turn and wake up a lot throughout the night. What you'll be looking at on your chart is a pattern, and it sounds like you do this every night, so its not going to make much difference. If you got sound sleep every night, but one night did this, it would make sense to discard a particular day's temp, but since its like this all the time, I think you're fine.
