Well I fell down a rabbit hole.
Do you wake up at 3amish?
I do it all the time. The more I read about it the more interesting things I found.
Some say it is the witching hour and is evil.
Some say it is a spiritual hour in which you can become closer to God.
Some say it is the most quiet time in which you can expand your own mind.
Some say it is a time when you can see spirits.
I've just touched the tip of the iceberg with this but it is very interesting.
Here is one video on it.

demons are causing this
His book At Day's Close: Night in Times Past, published four years later, unearths more than 500 references to a segmented sleeping pattern - in diaries, court records, medical books and literature, from Homer's Odyssey to an anthropological account of modern tribes in Nigeria. Much like the experience of Wehr's subjects, these references describe a first sleep which began about two hours after dusk, followed by waking period of one or two hours and then a second sleep. "It's not just the number of references - it is the way they refer to it, as if it was common knowledge," Ekirch says. During this waking period people were quite active. They often got up, went to the toilet or smoked tobacco and some even visited neighbours. Most people stayed in bed, read, wrote and often prayed. Countless prayer manuals from the late 15th Century offered special prayers for the hours in between sleeps. And these hours weren't entirely solitary - people often chatted to bed-fellows or had sex. A doctor's manual from 16th Century France even advised couples that the best time to conceive was not at the end of a long day's labour but "after the first sleep", when "they have more enjoyment" and "do it better". Ekirch found that references to the first and second sleep started to disappear during the late 17th Century. This started among the urban upper classes in northern Europe and over the course of the next 200 years filtered down to the rest of Western society.

Oh boy, 3AM!
Pretty common time to get up and use the can.
Sometimes for me it is 2... sometimes 4... usually if it is 4 I just say "screw it" and get up and on with my day.
