Anybody else wake up early during awakening process?

I've become to regularly, like every other day almost, wake up at 3, 4, 5 am, sometimes 2am, because I can't go back to sleep. I usually meditate until I feel somewhat functional. I'm someone that always needed more than 10 hours of sleep, now I'm getting less than 6 and feeling Ok, starting to scare me. I'm sure the meditation causes me to need a little less sleep though. Does this happen to anyone else? I also find that there is a weird energy at these hours that I think is good for meditation, it almost feels like time is standing still when your up at 3am.

It almost seems like you're in the best meditation mindstate when your up at 3am.

The hours from 3am - 5am....we call that Brahma Murtha.

It is the best time for meditation and to do spiritual things...the local vibration and energy is pretty low and relaxed at that time...less interference...

However, yes...some people find that after 2hrs meditating, they don't need to sleep at all.

If you are having problems sleeping and want to go back to sleep, or at least find a state resembling it to give the body a rest instead of just the mind, try Yoga Nidra (Yogic Sleep)...it requires you to just tense up and relax each body muscle one by one until you fall into a state of visualisation or lucid dreaming and you can astrally project in Yoga Nidra too.

All the best.

I usually rise around 4.00, but lately, yes, I wake around 1.00 and toss and turn for a couple of hours. I do think the energy flow of the galaxy, and by extension, the universe, is having a profound effect on sensitives everywhere.

Got to just let it flow through and around.

I wake up about three or four toss for a few hours or more. It has only been happening the last three months or so. Today I finally managed to go back to sleep at eight am and slept till twelve which I cant normally do but thankgoodness I could.( I needed the catch up after constant sleep disturbances)

When I was young I could sleep long and uninterrupted. Now that I am older I am a very light sleeper and since menopause am subject to insomnia waking up multiple time during the wee hours of the morning.

I usualy wake up at arround 2~3 am, having increased sharpness of thoughts, sometime writing them down, because i know i couldnt remember them later (not in the form in which they come).

(sometime i do ask to have guidance ...)

As Necromancer mentioned, it's called Brahma Murtha, an auspicious time for beginning any spiritual activity. The element Akasha is at it's highest point during that period of time. So if you wake up at that time, you can take advantage of that fact. Whatever you do, whether it's meditation or yoga related, do it facing an Eastern direction because that's the direction that the Sun is rising in during the morning.

Yeeep, I used to sleep 12 hours when I was younger, dropped to like 7-8 hours when entered UNI and started working, but could still sleep around 10 hours during weekends or public holidays. Now I sleep like 8 hours and I am fine (less than 8 would make me moody though hahaha)
So yes, it is definitely related.
