In my opinion this boils down to how you are humidifying the humidor. Get 65% humidity beads, wet them down, and don't even think about worrying again. (Oh, yeah, you have to wet them down when they get dry, of course!)
I open and close my humidor all the time because I love the smell and it doesn't affect the humidity that much over the course of a 24 hour period. After all, you aren't opening it while you are sleeping. If you are, then THAT is definitely the problem, by the way!
Also, you can't really tell what's going on until you put cigars in the humidor. Cigars are their own little hygrometer/bead controllers. They help even things out almost like magic. I mean, after all, an empty humidor is just a cedar box with something wet inside; it isn't really a humidor yet. (Yeah, I just making this saying up -- it has not been approved by any cool people yet.)
