"4 am in the morning" Conspiracy?

Look what I stumbled upon on recently

The slam poet/tech artist/paper sculptor Rives does eight minutes of lyrical origami, folding history into a series of coincidences surrounding that most surreal of hours: 4 o'clock in the morning. This elusive hour, both very late and very early, appears often in art and literature as a way to describe the most extreme states of affairs. Rives -- aided by a nimble mind and extensive online research -- reveals 4 a.m. as an iconic moment, drawing hilarious historical connections. (From TED).

Very interesting, Rives shows numerous coincidences of the phrase "4 o'clock in the morning" as the worst possible hour. There are references from various sources in various languages. He was even able to find a reference from 1932
