When your alarm goes off does it take you a few minutes to figure out you need to temp?

Most of the time I wake up and go right for the thermometer but there have been a few minutes that I have been disoriented and almost forgot why the alarm was going off. I have tried to shut it off or hit the snooze before but then I usually figure it out after a minute.

nope. I hit the button, and the thermometer is sitting right there next to it.

Same with me, the alarm goes off and the thermometer is immediately under my tongue!

Thew few times I have tried it myself I've been afraid I was moving too much, though I wasn't awake enough to be sure (maybe that's a good thing?) I'm so glad DH comes in & does it for me! I don't know how you guys do it!

I would wake up, get a little confused, almost get up and then remember...except on the days when I knew it was very important that I temp--like around O time!

I forget sometimes. I'll just hop right out of bed and then when I'm brushing my teeth or putting in my contacts, I remember. I hate that!

I go straight for the thermometer, even when I am taking a temp. break.

My problem is, sometimes it takes me a minute to find my thermometer even though, it's right beside my bed. I just feel around and feel around until I grab it.

its instant for me too. becomes a pain sometimes though as a few times ive sort of woken up at a silly hour and not realising the time put thermometre in and then fallen asleep for another couple of hours (before the thing has even beeped) so i wake up with it still in my mouth and am never sure what temp to use after that!

If all goes according to plan, I wake right up and take it.

But, it usually doesn't go according to plan. I wake up alot throughout the night and look at the clock to see if it's temping time. I tend to wake up before the alarm. The problem is, this morning I originally woke up at 4:30am ready to temp. I did fall back to sleep until my usual 7 and temped then. I hope it's accurate enough!

But, that's how it usually works for me. I've been known to be confused and temp at 3am. Once I realize it, I discard that temp, go back to bed, and take a real temp at 7.
