Has anyone ever woken up feeling warm in the middle of the night? You wake up and go to your mom and you tell her that you don't feel good and you end up getting your temperature taken rectally when you were little or moved to a cool spot of the house and being found and felt on the face that you were warm get a rectal temperature taken in the middle of the night?

I have. I know that I posted this under another topic. When I was 4 years old and the heat in the house was turned down low, I woke up really warm and not feeling well. So I moved to the lowest part of the house which was the living room floor.

My mom gets up about 5 minutes later and sees me in the living room floor and has the feeling that I was not feeling well. It was cold in the house with the heat being turned down low. My mom feels my face and forehead and gets the feeling that I have fever.

Then she silently goes to the kitchen while my dad was asleep and gets the rectal thermometer and comes back to the living room sofa. Then I drop my pj bottoms and underwear and just lay over my mom's lap. I start feeling the cool air going over my rear end and I feel my mom put her hand onto my cheeks and separates them. Then I feel my mom insert the nice cold rod into my rectum very easy and releases my cheek.

My mom has one hand at the lower part of my back and the other cupped around the thermometer on my rear end. As I am laying there, sometimes I have both of my arms hanging down touching the floor or one hand on my mom's leg and the other one hanging down to the floor.

I was also laying there relexed for the entire 5 minutes until it was removed. My mom got results that I had fever and gave me some meds for kids and went back to bed. On the next morning, I was back over my mom's lap for the second time to be sure that I did not have anymore fever.

Members, what is your story? Did this ever happen to you?

Yes I had it sometimes in the night and if my fever was too high I always had to take off my pajamas.

When I was hospitalized decades ago my rectal temp was taken every four hours. After a couple of days of being woken up in the middle of the night I was too sleepy to be embarrassed.

When I was sick my Mom would check my temperature with the rectal thermometer several times a day but let me sleep through the night. Then at about 6 AM in the morning she would wake me up to take my rectal temperature and if I still had a fever so I couldn't go to school she would give me a hot soapsuds enema, which was what the doctor told her to do to keep my bowels open during the illness.

I don't recall temperature measurements during the night but that certainly would be one of the first things done in the morning, as my mother believed that the most reliable way to take "base temperature" is when waking up (after that, activity etc. may make it rise).

Never as a kid but I had a thermometer-fetish playmate several years ago who got so into it that she once asked me to take her temperature “every ten min for ten min, all night long.” We both slept on and off but I woke her up several times with the thermometer that night.

Now that you're a bit older, do you realize it was for your "own good"? Even more important as you get older.
