Can I sleep now?

[tecwmn]

I am so tired from getting up almost every hour last night to check on Fin and test. I curved him all day today too and would like to sleep for a bit, but I am nervous about it.

Can someone look at his SS and let me know what times you would recommend in the middle of the night for spot checks? Or because he was steady all day is this not necessary?

Thanks,

Sleepy Mom

I've been known to opine that sleep is vastly overrated but you really do need to sleep. There was no need to stay up all last night and test! Let me acquaint you another LL phrase, "save-a-strip" night. Last night was a save-a-strip night. I'd get a test in before you go unconscious just to make sure Fin's numbers aren't dropping.

FWIW, I test at 7:00. It gives me time in the AM to make sure Gabby's not plummeting and I can stay up and easily get a +4.

I usually try to test the early hours (well, some of them) up to the nadir when you see the most action... and then I occasionally get spot checks later in the cycle just for the sake of seeing what she's up to...

Nice job on the data collection! I agree with Sienne - get a reading before bed and sweet dreams!

BTW... I shoot around 6:00 am/pm so I give myself several hours to monitor during the most active parts of her cycle...

I too do a 7:00 am/pm, feed/shoot schedule. I feel so relieved....alright, a test at 10:00 and then if the numbers aren't dropping. Nighty-night for me. I cannot tell you ladies how much I appreciate the advice from those in the know. Have a lovely evening!

I also shoot at 7am its great for me. But I'm now off 2 1/2 hours ohmygod_smile and it sucks. I'm going to work hard on getting her back on schedule.
I thought I was known as the one with the most pokes :lol:

Have a great sleep!
