Starting on night shifts next week! Has anyone got any experience of temping on night shifts? When do you temp and does it mess things up at all?
-
I'm probably wrong here, but when you're temping to chart, you're taking your basal body temperature, as in when you're body is at it's lowest temperature because you've been at rest. I think as long as you take it when you've had enough sleep and before you do anything, it could keep some sort of consistency??

Thanks @chibee: that's what I was hoping but I know that if I have a lie in and sleep longer my temps go up... I suppose the best
I can do is just pick a new waking time and stick with that. Have you ever tried this? -
I was working 24 hour shifts this last month and my temps were all A MESS. I agree with the above, that I would take it right before you get up, whatever time that is. It may look different than your usual chart, but I bet you'll still get a pattern.
