3AM

There were days, when I used to wake up at 3 in the morning & walk around the house, wondering whether I have insomnia. Then I read somewhere that it is absolutely normal to wake up around this time and a vague explanation on why its a good time to wake up. Later on, it was discovered that great things happen around 3am.

This is a more serious explanation to the phenomenon 3am....

This period of the day is known in Sanskrit as Brahmamuhurtham, the most conductive time for higher yogic practices, when the atmosphere is pure and quiet, the activities of the stomach and intestines have stopped, the mind has no deep impressions on the conscious level and is empty of thoughts in preparation for the day ahead. {From "Asana Pranayama Mudra Bandha" by Swami Satyananda Saraswati}
