Just saw the rest of your response. Yes, this makes perfect sense.
That’s a reasonable plan. When you say “leaving the 6-8am as is” I just want to check that you did decrease the 4am to 6am period, maybe by adding another segment into the basal schedule.

So the plan is to change 12-4am from .8 to .75, change 4-6 from 1.1 to 1, and then leave 6-8 at 1.1… and I’m also switching back to suspend before low (i’m still at 50— forgot to come back to that today!), and have silenced all of my alerts that I’m dropping…
I hope you kept a low alert for safety, and just removed the rate of fall and predicted low alerts.
The basal plan sounds like a reasonable experiment.

Yes, yes, and yes. I hope you sleep well. 
Yes, I did just that. Unfortunately, I forgot AGAIN last night to switch to suspend BEFORE instead of suspend ON. I think that contributed to last night’s result. I woke up this morning below 40 with gross metal taste and numb throat. 2 steps forward, one to the side, one back.
The drop is slower than it was the night before, but there’s still a drop, so I’d reduce the overnight basal a bit more. In addition to the clear slow drop from 2am to 6 or 7, there may be an underlying down-trend from 11pm to 2am, but that depends on what else was happening. What was happening with the rises at midnight and 2am? Were those glucose treatments? It looks like you were surfing a correction for the 8pm (post-meal?) pea, which is completely reasonable to do but I recognize it is a nuisance. The low alarm at around 5am didn’t cause you to take glucose. That means you need a more intrusive alarm somehow; maybe someone has an idea how to get that.
I should’ve answered this this morning… I can no longer remember. That feels like a lifetime ago now. I didn’t go to sleep till almost 2 so it’s very possible there were a couple of glucose tabs.
That 8:00 thing was a late jump on my trampoline. My entire exercise schedule has been blown to pieces, so I’m just doing what I can when I can. It means pushing up my numbers as soon as I decide I’m going to start. Terrible strategy, I know. I hope it’s temporary.
I sleep through them, yes. I got excited there for a minute about the Libre as a solution to my overnight alarm issues… but that’s a major task. It’s not that I can’t do it, but I … am going to need a little time.
