jumpingo and I have actually had opposite results here - lower temps with longer, better sleep.
I hadn't heard that it was meant to rise with more sleep?
I've read it somewhere but can't remember where ATM.
If you use an adjuster it increases your temp if taken early and decreases if taken later, I've never adjusted my temps though as FF says not to
my theory is that it's typically the lowest somewhere in the middle of the night (when they assume you are in your deepest sleep, if you aren't like all of us in this thread!

) and then as you approach waking up, it starts to rise. that would explain the .2 adjustment for early or late temps (i don't adjust either because FF says not to)
i am also guessing that each person probably has a fairly their own "regular" temp pattern of coming out of that deep sleep assuming they have consistent sleeping conditions every night, so that's the reason for the time being important.
however, i think there is something to be said for being in DEEP sleep.
for example, if i were a person who normally hit deep sleep at 3am and then slowly come out of it for a good reading at 6am, i wonder if the same temps (number value) would appear if i hit deep sleep at 5am and had that same temp pattern and took it at 8am (same 3 hour temp pattern, just 2 hours later)
OR would my pattern be slightly higher in temps but have the same rising pattern...?
sounds like someone needs to become a sleep doctor!
since we can't really control the quality of our sleep, i am trying to control the timing. that way there aren't 2 variables changing every day. at least if they are at the same time, i can blame it on being "sleep deprived."
Who are these people that get all these hours of uninterrupted sleep??!!! I'm always waking to pee, or turn over etc.... Also when I wake I'm often on my tummy so I have to turn over to take my temp and reach my thermometer....would that affect it?
YES, where are these people?!!

i figure reaching for your thermometer happens every day, so even if it does affect your temp, it affects it every day, so it's a constant.
AF starting properly now. I'm joining you now jumpingo

On to the next cycle.
boo for AF

but yay for joining me!
I've just had a horrible experience, was asleep on my tummy and woke suddenly almost choking, thought I was going to throw up, but it was burning my throat

had some water (broke so glass in the dark, barefoot ha) and taken some gaviscon and it. Seems to be easing a little, but still burning a but. Anyone ever had this? Is it reflux?
sounds a bit like heartburn or acid reflux? did you eat something last night that may have not settled well with you? or something different than usual?
