34-Year-Old Professional Experiences Unexplained Sleep Pattern Disruption

THREAT: LOW👁 WITNESSES: 1CREDIBILITY: ★★★★☆

Subject: Probably nothing — waking up at 3:17am

Dear Evelyn,

I don’t really believe in this stuff. I want to say that upfront because I need you to understand that I am not the kind of person who writes emails like this.

I’m 34. I work in logistics. I own a sensible car.

About two months ago I started waking up at exactly 3:17am. Not approximately. Exactly. I checked my phone enough times to be certain. It happens four, sometimes five nights a week, and when I wake up I feel completely alert, like I’ve been awake for hours. No noise, no bad dream I can remember, nothing. I just… open my eyes and it’s 3:17.
