It’s 3 am, lying in your bed and staring at the ceiling. For some reason, you woke up at 3 o’clock from your peaceful sleep. You have a toilet, but something tells you to stay under your blanket. You are sweating with fear and pressure is being placed on your bladder. Then you think that this is not the first time you have experienced this. Why did you wake up at 3 am?
You think it’s one of the horror movies you’ve watched and say to yourself “don’t be silly” and put your feet on the ground. You get up quickly, run to the light, and relax. Anyway, let’s leave our little description aside. Really, why do we all wake up at 3 am? Is it because of horror movies? Or supernatural beings? Or is it Satan himself?
Superstitions About Waking Up At 3 A.M
The rumor that “between 3 and 4 am is the most active hour of the demons”
One of the centuries-old rumors of people of the Christian faith is that at 3 am is when the demons are most active. From 3 am until the sunrise, evil events take place. In the Muslim belief, it is said that these are the times when the jinn are most active in the dimension of us humans.
The Crucifixion of Jesus
Again, according to the Christian belief, It is said that Jesus was crucified at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, and exactly 12 hours after that, at 3 am, demonic activities took place. Demons are at their weakest form at 3pm and at their strongest at 3am.
Sacrifice Ceremonies and Rituals
According to other rumors, many rituals and sacrifice ceremonies take place at 3 am. Since no one will be outside during these hours, Covens (witch council), sorcerers or various cults perform these rituals and the evil energy that emerges awakens people.
Night 3 Is An Important Issue In Horror Movies Too.
It also appears in many horror movies at 3 am. In fact, if you remember, in the movie “The Horror Session”, the clock stopped at exactly 3 am and everything was starting to spiral. Similarly, in The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Emily would wake up to a strange smell at around 3 am every day.
We read the explanations of 3 o’clock in the heavenly beliefs and cult rituals. We do not want you to think that these are real, because we wanted to tell you about these superstitions, because with scientific facts, we will make you better understand that this is not the case. Let’s take a look at the fact of the matter:
Fact of The Matter: Scientific Reasons
You wake up at 3 am because: At this time, you go from deep sleep to normal sleep.
“The average person wakes up about six times a night,” says James C. Findley, PhD, head of the Philedelphia Penn Sleep Center’s “Behavioral Sleep Treatment Program.” These awakenings are so brief that we don’t even remember them. However, when you wake up after completing the deep sleep process (4-4. 30 hours after sleeping), it can be difficult to fall asleep again.
According to Findley, for example, it’s 22:30-23. If you fall asleep at around 00:00, you will have finished your deep sleep at 3 am and you will go into a light sleep period. Since your brain is more active in this process, you cannot go back to sleep when you wake up.
You Wake Up At 3 A.M Because: You’re Getting Your Sleep
“One of the top causes of insomnia is spending a lot of time in bed,” says Shalini Paruthi, a pulmonologist at the University of St. Louis School of Medicine. For example, if your body needs 6 hours of sleep and you go to bed at 9:30 pm, when you wake up 6 hours later (that is, at 3 am), the only reason for this is that you have had your sleep.
You wake up at 3 am because: You’re old
If you have not had such a problem until a certain time and you are now middle-aged, we have bad news: The reason you wake up at this time is menopause or andropause (male menopause). You sweat a lot at night and wake up. This is because the hypothalamus region, which controls body temperature, does not know what to do with fluctuating estrogen levels.
