The night before last I had about 10 hours of nearly uninteruppted sleep my temp was a little higher. Last might I was woken up three times at 2:00, 4:00, and 6:00. I took my temp at 6:00 am this morning. Yesterday I took my temp at 6:00 am as well but I had only been woken up at 2:00 am. I wondering if there is any possible connection of lower or higher temps based on sleep patterns

i'm curious about this as well..... I havn't been sleeping so well.. so i'm wondering if that's why my temps have been so low.

As much science as there is behind fertility charting I think that there is a lot of art behind it as well. What is true for one body may not be true for another. That being said, typically when I wake up in the middle of the night and I take my temp in the morning it does appear off (sometimes warmer sometimes colder). On those days I mark it in FF as "sleep deprived" and it will mark it with an open circle. Then later in my cycle I will either discard that temp or just take it with a grain of salt so to speak.

Sorry I don't have a more scientific answer for you. Hopefully some of the girls here with more experience will chime in.
