If you wake up between 3 and 5 in the morning, this could be the reason

This early morning period is often referred to as “the hour of the wolf,” a phrase introduced by Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman in his psychological horror film. He suggested that this is when sleep reaches its deepest stage, nightmares become more intense, and personal fears feel heightened. Some traditions even claim that these hours are when births and deaths most frequently occur.

According to Professor Birgitta Steene, the idea comes from Swedish folklore, where the time between 3:00 and 5:00 a.m. is seen as a critical moment. During this interval, the body enters complete rest, influencing various biological processes. In many cultures, it is also associated with supernatural activity, with beliefs that witches, spirits, and other entities are most active during these hours.
