Question

How does taking your bbt work when your a disturbed sleeper???

Answer

It’s not ideal and lots of ladies here will tell you it’s impossible, but I’ve had many clear charts despite rarely sleeping more than 2 hours at a time. I tend to wake up sometime around 4 pretty consistently, so that’s when I take my official temp each day. I did buy an expensive thermometer with Bluetooth that records 30 temps, so for awhile I tested taking my temp every time I work up to see if that was insightful. After all that, I found 4 to work just fine. I do have slow metabolism though, so my Yelp won’t rise as quickly as those with normal or fast metabolism so that helps my charts be okay despite terrible sleep.

Answer

I have that issue as well, but as Jessica said you kind of have to troubleshoot. For me the most important thing is to take it at the same time everyday. Some people are more sensitive to sleep duration, and some are more sensitive to time temped I found I get more clear charts when I temp around the same time (give or take about 45 minutes). For me, I usually wake up between 1:30-3am, I’ll be up for about 30 minutes and then I’ll fall back asleep until 6/6:30. since I never know what time I’ll be up in the middle of the night, taking it then resulted in crazy charts, so I wait to take it when I wake up for the day. My chart looks much better now and I can seen discernible patterns. Sometimes (like this last cycle for me) stress can make insomnia worse and you’ll have a wonky chart.
The most important thing is not to let stressing about taking BBT disturb your sleep even more than it already is disturbed. At the beginning I was getting so stressed that BBT wasn’t working because I wasn’t sleeping that it was causing me not to sleep lol (vicious cycle). Let yourself have a couple of cycles to acclimate and learn without stress. Tell yourself that Your ability to conceive does not rest on one temperature and you’ll sleep better (at least I did). 
If you’re extremely concerned look into wearable BBT monitors like tempdrop and Ava. I considered it, but allowed myself time to see if I could learn a system that worked for me before making the investment (they’re quite pricey). I found what works for me so I decided to stick with my $16 BBT thermometer. I’ve heard they’re lifesavers for some people though! Good luck!!

Answer

I toss and turn a lot myself and it works fine
Sometimes it can be better to take it at different time when you wake up after a solid sleep than it is to make sure it’s at the same time every morning
