There is a phenomenon where people report waking up at 3am, 3.15am and so on... Have you recently watched a movie where this happened, or have you had a religious upbringing that might have caused you to fear this hour? These could be rational, non-superstitious answers to this problem.

Some people believe 3am to be "the witching hour" where demons and other supernatural beings are at their most active. In some Christian beliefs it's believed this hour is unsafe because Jesus died on the cross at 3pm, so the 3am hour is used by evil forces to mock Christ. I'm a Christian myself but I don't know if I believe this theory and I certainly don't mean to scare you, I'm just trying to give a thorough answer.

I would suggest at first, making sure you're sleepy when you head for bed, have a warm bath or a glass of milk- do something which calms you down. Try and keep the idea of waking at 3am out of your head. Read something light and funny before you go to sleep, turn the clock away from you, even. If, by coincidence you've woken up at 3.33 several times, this could have become something your body recognized and if you're fearful or anticipating this, this could be causing your wake ups. People who've worked for many years and woken up a set time sometimes wake up when their alarm clock would have went off.

If this doesn't work I would choose to speak to a religious or medical professional, whichever you see fit, maybe even both.

I hope this helps.
