Question about BBT measuring

My husband gets up around 5:30am and gets ready for work for about an hour, during which time I am usually in and out of sleep because of the noise he makes.  I was going to temp every day right when he left because its a consistent time, and I sometimes don't get up right away when he wakes up.  But I didn't know if my temps would be off because I haven't been sleeping steadily for the hour he is getting ready. 

 So is it better to temp when I first wake up from him in the morning, even though the times might be off a little, or temp after he leaves when I've been drifting in and out of sleep for an hour or so?

The best option would be to have him (or an alarm) wake you up right at 5:30 everyday. The second best option would be to temp whenever you wake up even if the times are off a little. I would not recommend temping after drifting in and out of sleep for an hour.

Temp at 5:30.  Then head right back to sleep. It's what I do.

There are times I drift in and out of sleep for the last hour or so before I get up, and I still had fairly consistent temps last cycle and was able to see my shift. If you're not getting up, moving around, and tossing and turning, I don't think it would be a major problem.

Makin' a quote train.

I do this as well.  In fact, I've been doing it for so long that I forget that I've even temped a majority of the time.
