Taking Temperature While Sleeping or Just Waking Up

A favorite temp experience was actually when I was sick for several days and my husband was taking my temperature a few times while I was sleeping or just waking up from sleep. I was on a cough medicine that made me groggy and sleeping a lot.

I usually sleep on my back so I could feel myself being turned on my side a d my nightie bottoms being pulled down and hubby whispering to "relax ... just taking your temperature."

Wow, very nice. I have never had anyone take my rectal temp while I was sleeping but would sure enjoy it if it were to happen.

Vicki.V --- Stirring experience ...Did it leave you feeling all Glassy Eyed ??

Has never happened this way for me, butt would be open to it.......On those occasions when it did make an entrance (usually a case of fever or illness) an Enema was not far behind...

I remember one occasion where my mom took my temperature while I was asleep. I was around age 7 and was sick with a stomach virus. I woke up on my side with the thermometer in my bottom, but too nauseous to fight it.

I recall an experience like that one. I was in the pediatrics wing of our hospital and the nurses would come in the room very early and put the lights on. I always liked to sleep as a kid and would grunt and fuss about being awakened so early. The nurses had their schedule and it was temperatures and meds first thing in the morning. This one nurse came over to my bed shaking down a thermometer. "C'mon, it's time to wake up. I have to take your temperature." she said and put her hand on my shoulder and gave me a shake. I stirred and rubbed my eyes. She must have thought I was deliberately stalling or I was trying to ignore her.

She shook me again. "If you don't wake up, I am going to take it in your rear end." she threatened. I was still half asleep when I felt her pull down the sheet and felt her bare my bottom.

The nurse put the oral thermometer back in her pocket and reached in one next to it. She shook down the thermometer and then swiftly spread my buttocks and slid the thermometer up my rectum. The cold rectal thermometer cleared any cobwebs and I felt the nurses hand on my buttock, keeping me from rolling over. I was kept on my tummy for a full three minutes and I saw her glance at her watch before she withdrew and charted my temperature.

The next morning when the lights came on I was wide awake and ready when the nurse took my temperature.

I took a gf's rectal temp. while she was sleeping. She started to turn on her back, while I was removing the thermometer. It was a close call. I think she would have been angry, if she knew what happened.

Every time when I was in hospital. Sorry guys but even as a child 6 o'clock in the morning is too early to be awaken... xD

Both. As soon as I go to bed, I sleep with the thermometer in my bum till I get up in the morning 😃

Yes and I also got suppositories like this too… but if they didn't have to they wouldn't even pull my pants down my grandma would just reach in and feel around until she felt it go in me. One time she accidentally stuck it in the other hole and I just played like I was asleep but it was so uncomfortable. I woke up thru every overnight temp taking and suppository. I never once let them know.

Had that experience when i was in my 30's. Was in the hospital for 3 days for a minor surgery. The first night they gave me something to help me sleep. During the night i felt something and i woke up. I usually sleep on my side and had nothing on under the hospital gown. I realized I had a thermometer in my butt. It was too late to protest so I just let the nurse finish. Next night was a male nurse on duty and again they gave me medication to help me sleep so of course the thermometer went in my butt again.

I remember my ex boyfriend took my rectal temperature while I was sleeping. In the morning when I woke I found one glass thermometer with a reading of 37.9 degrees out of the case placed next to the bed. I asked my ex boyfriend what happened last night, and he told me he woke at night and felt my body warm and he took my rectal temperature. He manage to take my rectal temperature it a very silent way, I couldn't notice a thing and I couldn't feel what he did, I was just sleeping, probably dreaming something nice.

I do that a lot too

My mom took one last night in my sleep as I've been having recurrent fevers from a flu bug

A former girlfriend was often successful at taking her two young daughters’ RTs without waking them. It must have been a mother thing, because I never could manage to pull the job off without waking them. (Their father died, and I was a regular part of their lives).

I Have never had the experience of being woken by someone taking my rectal temp I would love to. When I was 5-18 I got pneumonia a lot at least 2 or 3 times a year. Mom would wake me up to take my temp so she could take my temp and most of the time I just wanted to go back to sleep so she would take it rectally just because it was easier and I prefer it when I was sick. Even as a teenager. But never got woken up because she was taking it.

I have never been woken up by somebody to take my temperature.
