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.

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

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.

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?

yeah i agree with the one above me....you usually have a "clock" in your brain that is used to that time. HAve you ever woken up at 3:32 WITH an alarm??

woah, i wish i could wake up like that! but yeah as others said, how come so early? lol

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:

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...

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.

happens to me and and like a year ago whenever I look at the watch it would say always have :13 on it but I didn't mean anything I got use to it and eventually it went away.

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.

the demons are calling u.its the demons time

I wake up at 3:00AM on the dot every morn. Like clockwork. I go right back to sleep, though.

well during the school year no matter what its like clock work i wake up at like 5:58 yeah thats right not 6:00 lmfaoo your body can train itself. its kinda like whenever i look at the kitchen clock it always either says 11:11 or 9:11 or 7:11, stuff that your head can connect to things in life i guess ?

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?

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!

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.

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.

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.

Ever see that movie "the number 23"? Hahahahahahaha

i always wake up at 11:11, or 12:12, and sometimes even 13:13 (when im dreaming, or looking at a 24 hour clock) but yeah, ytjhats interesting, do some research on the number 23, or 3:23 on teh interwebs

This happens to me all the time, exactly at 3:23am out of deep sleep I wake up at this time. Please tell me if it's still happening to u, I'm
Pretty freaked out. It's not the apartment as Moved several times. This is very creepy

During school, the alarm on my clock would startle me so much when I woke up so I set my little mental alarm for 6 AM andalways woke up then. I DEEM THEE NORMAL

Honesty I have the same problem

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
