Is it normal to wake up at a set time (3:23) without an alarm clock?

this doesnt happen everyday and sometimes not even every week but sometimes it happens back to back to back every single other night i go to sleep i dont wake up till random "normal times" but on these select nights i wake up on 3:23 it is always 3:23 ive tried going to sleep early late it doesnt matter ive even gone so far as to change the time on my clock to like 5 min differance than actual time ie. at 3:23 my clock will read 3:30 3:20 or something like that. like i said it doent matter what i do it always happens at 3:23 satellite time for my time zone

    The phenomenon you're experiencing is called number prompts or time prompts. It is quite common with millions of people. A book you should pick up is titled 11:11, a number that has high significance for a lot of people. I myself always see the time 9:11, its like you are compelled or drawn to look at the clock at that precise moment, its even more punctuated with your waking up and seeing the same exact time. Some speculate on the meaning of the number reassurances being that you must follow your intuition more, like the numbers are telling you something, keep following your intuition and you will see the number prompts more and more, they guide you to what you are supposed to be doing. That is all.

      I thought I was the only one. I was convinced it was beyond normal when I couldn't even see the watch in the corner of my eye, but I was compelled to look at it. It's significance I have no clue.

    I think this is quite normal to be woken up at this time.In fact it is very good if you do. it shows you can feel the energy of the time.
    It is a time that the creator of this world is coming close to this world.A time when the angels are scouring the earth looking for anyone who is asking for help.
    If you wake at this time say a little prayer.
    It will get answered.

    I wake up at 3:20 am all the time not every night but most. My children were also born at this time or I went into labor. I seem to be ultra aware at this time and fully awake ???

    Yes, I was interested in figuring out why the t.v. show the strain had this occur a couple times in the season finish of season 2. I also have had this number appear a few times throughout my life. My daughter was born on the 23, my username in school is has the digits 323, my address growing up was 2330, and I wake up at odd times of the night usually 0230.

    It's normal. I've heard footsteps. Saw human forms at the end of my bed while I'm paralyzed while they torment my soul.
    They're called watchers. Read the book of Enoch. They're all over the place and mess with 2 or 3% of the population. There's reports of telepathy including mine.
    I think the time is acknowledged by them and you receive that vibe as a twinge or "what was that? What time is it?" You ask. Then you are freaked out a little. Just be glad it ends there.

    I´m glad I´m not alone. I wake up every night at 3:23 am without an alarm, since Jun 2012. Also googled the question and got this blog. Hope to find the answer soon, I already tried Angelology, numerology, now I´ll read bible verses,
    genesis 3:23
    galatians 3:23
    romans 3:23
    lamentations 3:23
    romans 3:23
    mark 3:23
    luke 3:23

    Is it exactly at 3:23 everyday? Or is it within a few minutes at times? In the summertime, I had myself waking up at around 7:00 a.m.

    I had this as well. I woke up at 2:13 for a while and then it changed to 4:02. It usually only happens when I am under stress but I think your body and mind adjust...why that time I HAVE NO IDEA but whenever I woke-up, I pretty much knew what time it was. Wierd yes, but dogs and cats wake up at then same time everyday too.

    I too googled "what is the significance of waking at 3:20" and came here. I believe in my case it may be paranormal. I have felt footsteps on my bed twice at this exact time and maybe 6 out of 7 nights I wake up at this time (+/- 1 minute) for no notable reason. Everyone in the house (and guests) have seen an apparition. The house is only 4 years old and the original owners are still alive, so I have no easy explanation for this, and no, I have no history of mental illness.
    Interesting fact: If I sleep elsewhere I never wake up during this time. I am slightly religious and my name is John, so I read John 3:20 in the bible...gave me chills. Then I thought of reading Revalations 3:20...pretty much same message.
    If anyone has insight to the significance to 3:20 I am willing to listen. Obviously I'm not the only one with an issue to this exact time.

    OMG! I do this at 3:24 am! I Google'd it because I was wondering if it had an significance or anything. I don't know why I do this. I am so surprised that our times are one minutes off!

    Hey. Not sure how long ago this was posted. But I Google'd "Why do I wake up at 3:23?" and got your post. It's been going on for quite a few years for me, almost 7 or 8. It's not daily, or weekly and occassionally, but very rarely, it will be 2:23. I never thought about checking it against daily savings time until now though.
    I'm not weird and I don't see dead people. It's just something that is starting to bother me because of how frequently it happens. Have you found anything?

    I woke up right when the bus was supposed to be at my stop once and somehow I got up and was down at the stop before the bus came. It was beastly.

    It's NORMAL!

    I used to do it all the time.
    Some time I do it if I'm not tired.

    My dad does this all the time, it's insane and amazing!
    No need for alarm clock, yet he ALWAYS wakes up 5:00 am on set!

    You'll only wake up late if you are tired or didn't have enough sleep.

    Well, I'll bet that that's seriously detrimental to your everyday life. Unless you need to wake up at such a time for some reason.

    It could be some kind of circadian rhythm sleep disorder. That basically means that your body clock is way off from the norm (surprise surprise!)

    Go here to read more about the various types:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circadian_rhythm_sleep_disorder

    Out of the three main types, it sounds as though it could be advanced sleep phase syndrome. I have no idea why your timing is so accurate though. Congratulations, you have a very accurate and ultra early inbuilt waking system!

    Also, look up insomnia. Insomnia isn't just about having trouble falling asleep - there are several types and some of them include waking up in the middle of the night/in the very early hours.

    It might be worth going to have a sleep study. Assuming it's a problem of course, but maybe you don't mind...

      hi nikki. for many years actually since i was at primary school ive been seeing 3:32pm every day. since then ive been seeing it almost daily to a point where i started waking up automatically at 3:32am when i lloked at the time. i always wondered what it ment. now m trying to figure it out. It might sound silly but i wonder is something significant going to happen 3rd month at the age of 32. or something else??

    Odd indeed strange you wake up at 3:23 exactly each time however im odd also :) your not alone :) instead of waking up at a certain time exactly if i set my alarm for the next morning no matter how late or early i go to bed i will always wake up exactly 21 minutes before my alarm goes off and if i set 2 alarms i'll wake up at the one closer to the time i prefer strange but true =S
    Frank...:)

  • You have a set body time. This is normal and a lot of people do somethign like this. It may not be the exact time but people after working at a job for several years, will often wake up each day and not need an alarm clock.

    But why 3:23?

      3:00 AM is known in some circles as being the time when the veil between the spiritual world and the living world is thinnest.

    Not that it's normal exactly, but it's kind of cool though. Maybe it's a sign. Or maybe you're brain wants to wake up at 3:23 just to spook you. idk. that pretty interesting.

    it might be some ghost/paranormal thing. why would you wake up at the same time every time?
