Do I have to sleep to get an accurate basal body temperature?

Sleeping and Basal Body Temperature

In order to get an accurate basal body temperature you need to have been asleep at least 3 hours prior. Before you take your temperature, be sure to not move around unnecessarily and don't talk. These things can affect the temperature, causing it to rise from the true reading.
