I'v heard the veil is thinnest around 3am and spirits have always seem strongest then. Also i'v seen other people's conjured spirits (they're way better than me at magic) move things but it has usually been around this time. I don't really know the answere to your question but maybe something is trying to tell you something because spirits sometimes communicate through dreams. Or maybe a spell that usually isn't powerfull enough to wake you up usually becombes more powerful at 3am and wakes you up. I don't really know these are just ideas you might want to check out.
i've been taught 3 is the witching hour when the veil is thin. historically, in medevil times 3 was really midnight. [can't remember the exact times though] but the day was broken into 12, 3, 6, and 9. forget what each was called though.
3am or 3pm is what they call the devil's hour (witching hours. It plays a big part in necromancy and witchery. On that time, Christ was said to die. After death, souls began to wander around in the world of living. Demons are most powerful in this hours so be careful.

Oh man, old thread! Memories... I miss Chironjakal. You could always count on Chiron to challenge anything anyone said, no matter if she agreed or not.
there are 2 things i know about 3am one is that is when our brain waves are at their most creative and two it is the time there is no prayer coming from the catholic church
so if there is timekeeping going on its not spirits that are keeping time it is us
You might take a look at the Chinese Healing Wheel. According to that tradition, each part of our body heals at different times. When an organ is under stress, lungs in your case, you will often wake up during the time that that organ is attempting to heal.
Most people don't need a lot of sleep depending on what time you fell asleep is counted on how rested you body is, and all of most the brain cells control when its time to wake.
