Waking up at 3:17 AM sharp for no reason

For the past month, I've been jolting awake at exactly 3:17 AM without any alarm or disturbance. Friends say it's just stress or a sleep cycle, but the timing feels too exact to be random, like a system error. Has anyone else had this kind of patterned wake-up, and do you see it as a body quirk or something stranger?

How is it always 3:17 on the dot and not a normal round number? That EXACT minute is what makes it feel like a glitch, not just a normal sleep thing. Our brains are supposed to be messy, not that precise.

Your internal clock is more obsessive than my morning alarm.

Ugh, mine used to be like that too. What finally helped was just getting up when my brain started going, no matter how early. Noah's not wrong about that internal clock feeling.
