You can do just as you did...if she wakes up, let her come out for a drink. Just dry her properly, and see if she wants to " stay up" or go back to sleep. Mine generally stay asleep for 3 months average, I don't let them any longer than that, and I don't wake them for anything. In 15 years I've had one beardie awaken with a respiratory infection, that was about 13 years ago, and she was treated and came around right away. Other than that, no problems whatsoever.
