Often wake up around that time if I've had a drink. The alcohol has worn off and the brain wakes up!

Yeah I had similar for a while. I made sure I didn't have any caffeine after about 3:30pm on advice of a friend and it worked.
Also, since I've started doing a bit more exercise recently I've been sleeping like a log. Just a tip!

Hmm I've been havig the same problems
This could be the reason for me as I've been taking jack3d and caffine pills (at around 3pm) but thought it wouldnt effect my sleep as its so early?!?!?!

I believe caffeine takes around 24 hours to get fully out of the system. Went "cold turkey" once and got bad headaches for several days, so I've cut way down since.

Try setting an alarm for 3am.
If you are anything like me you wont want to get up and will turn it off, roll over and go straight back to sleep.

I know your not meant to take more than 600mg of caffine in a 24 hour period, but I didn't realise it would effect me after taking it 7 / 8 hours before I go to bed, time to cut down to just the jack3d then I think.

Are you over 50? It's only your body telling you to get up and pee. Get used to it, thousands of us have to.

I suffer really badly with lack of sleep, I'm a really light sleeper which doesn't help, a mouse could fart half a mile down the road and it will wake me up.
I've been waking up regularly at 3.30am and can't get back to sleep so just toss and turn in bed getting more frustrated until my alarm goes off at 6.
I've now narrowed it down to drinking alcohol, more specifically cider and a certain ingredient in it but it happened last night after drinking lager so it's no more drinking on a school night for me full stop and see what happens.

I wake up most morning between 3.10 and 3.30 and have no idea why........ don't drink coffee and rarely drink on a school night.
an oriental herbalist once told me that 3am is when the body waking up and the liver is processing alchohol and it is that process which wakes you up - probably tosh and didn't stop me drinking but in fairness if I have been out for a beer or ten, I do seem to wake automatically at 3am!....

The spiritualist community do attach a lot of importance to 3am citing ( variously) the end of the "witching" hours when ghosts try and tell you things and the time when Jesus died and/or wad resurrected.
They are head mental though so I would ignore their shit. I suspect there is something waking you like a neighbours alarm clock or your heating timer which is happening at the quietest time of night.

I've just finished a load of night shifts, and without fail, have woken every morning this set at 1055am (after getting to bed about 7am). Massively annoying & I've ended up lying there trying to go back to sleep. This is a fairly regular thing and I have no idea why the 11am zone causes me to wake.
If I've had a few drinks on my day off I habitually tend to wake up about 3am, but I have no doubt that's the alcohol making me too hot to sleep.
