3am is the devil's hour - belive it? do you wake up in the middle of your sleep? email this discussion to a friend?

I heard that 3am is the devil's hour when I saw a clip from The Exorcist. The priest says that it's the devil mocking The Hour of Christ's Death (3pm).

I don't/never watch horror films because I get nightmares for weeks and I tend to lose sleep. This particular information/scene was one of the most memorable clips in all movies for me. Why? Because I always wake up at 3am (ranges from 2.30am-3am) for no apparent reason. I just jolt right up and am dizzy and quite shaken. Then I feel like I HAVE to get up, if I don't, I'll never fall right back to sleep. So I simply do and go to the bathroom then come back.

I never have trouble falling back to sleep after that. But it does trouble me when I just suddenly wake up at that supposedly scary hour.

Do you get nightmares from watching scary movies?
Do you wake up in the middle of your sleep for no apparent reason? And do you have any trouble falling back to sleep after?
Do you think there's any truth that 3am is the devil's hour is it just another superstition?

That is really interesting to note. This is the first time I heard about it but I usually wake up at that time too, but I never did realized that it is the Devil's hour or what. What I usually do..? Well if I could not lull myself to sleep again then I would watch TV. lol I would choose a boring channel then it will definitely lull me to sleep again. lol

I bleive time belongs to God, the devil has no contol over time. #am is actualy a good time to pray a bit and then go back to sleep. I heard many people sa they wake up for no reason nad then just feel they have the urge to pray for someone, or something, the they sleep again. Don't listen to the devil, he's a liar.

I don't like horror films, they seem so meaningless, and gives nightmares.

May you wake up next time at 3 and feel good, do something and have a good refreshing sleep further.

Blessings

I never heard this thing before. I don't have nightmares when I see horror films, in fact I prefer horror films than mushy romantic films.

I also wake up at 3:00am out of the blue my eyes darted on the ceiling for few minutes and I tossed from different position in the bed before drifting to sleep again.

Hi oyenkai! very interesting discussion you have chosen. I do not believe it and it is only a horror fiction and nothing more than that. The winner of Oskar Award A.R. Rehaman (Slum Dog Millionnaire fame) practice his tunes only during these hours and other singers, musicians, artists practice during this time only due to calm, cool atmosphere present at that hours. The impact you had on the Exorcist movie may be the reason for you to get a disturbed sleep and wake up at 3am. Since it happened to you for some days it has become regular. You can break this cycle if you drink a cup of hot milk everyday before retiring to bed. This will help you overcome your disturbed sleep to a mere sound sleep thereby your cycle of wake up at 3am may be postponed to say 3.30am, 3.45am, 4.00am, 4.15am and to a desired time in some days. Slowly you will come out of this cycle or situation wake up at 3am. There is no devil or no superstition. This is purely a nervous debility and stress. Best of luck.

well i would not like to prove if 3am is the devil's hour. its would be a very very frightening experience so i would never like to experience that. I do get nightmares when I watch scary movies so i try to avoid watching scary movies as much as possible especially when I am alone.

Well I don't think there is anything like devil's hour nor I get scared after watching scary movies.Its funny that people get scared even after watching those movies.No offense please.Because I thought scary movies only try to scare us through sudden loud sounds just at the right moment when your totally concentrated into the movie.Its just a simple trick.And about the sleeping thing.I sleep around 4 am.So I am already awake and prepares when the devil is wandering around.Hehe..

I wake up sometimes at night for no particular reason. I make my rounds, bathroom, check on kids and dog and go back to bed. Mostly I fall back asleep quickly. I have noticed it is usually around 2:30 or so. I never thought much about why at that particular time I wake up everynight. You have me thinking now! I am not a very superstitous person however. I do get scared by scary movies and will have nightmares if I watch them. Hubby loves them though so sometimes I watch to humor him but mostly I try and fall asleep when he has one on.

The only scary movie that really gave me nightmares was the Freddy Kruger series when I was young...the one where the boy gets yanked through his bed...I had nightmares about that for weeks. I wasn't supposed to see it but I snuck down when my older brother was watching it.

I do wake up several times a night, usually from leg cramps. I walk them out, go potty and head back to bed. Usually I can just fall back to sleep.

As for the devil's hour...I think that's more power of suggestion then anything. Alot of superstition is that way. If you don't believe it, it shouldn't make a difference to you.

Oh really? I have heard of something similar - when you comb your long hair right at 12:00 midnight in front of the mirror, you will see yourself has something strange happen... I never tried to do that before because I don't know if this rumor is right or wrong, it sounds really weird to me though.

I wake up in the middle of the night once in a while,most of the time is from 2:30-3:30 too. If I wake up like that, I have harsd time falling asleep back.
