Is 3 am Called The Devil’s Hour?

Often we wake up in the night feeling all confused, sweaty and jittery. However, if at this time we look at the watch and it is 3am, it sends our mind into a tizzy! This is so because we have heard that this hour is known as the Devil’s hour. Here’s why. 

It is said that the demon or devil who leads hell is at his strongest at this hour of the day.

Between 3-4am

While demonic activities are highest at 3am, the preceding hour (3am-4am), too is demonic before sunlight peeps in some parts of the world.

The crucification of Jesus

It is believed that Jesus was crucified at 3pm (which in turn is now known as the most “godly” hour ) and exactly 12 hours later that is at 3am, the demonic activities set in. In hindsight, while demons are weakest at 3pm, they are strongest at 3am.

Sacrifices and rituals

It is said that 3am is also the time when maximum rituals and sacrifices take place — apparently the fact that “nobody” can watch them makes them more powerful.

Movies and more

3am is also seen as a very unholy time in movies. If you have seen ‘The Conjuring’, the clock stops at 3 in the morning and everything goes downhill from there. Similarly in ‘The Exorcism of Emily Rose’ where Emily finds herself waking up to a strange smell at 3am everyday.


The reality

In reality, there is however no scientific theory to support these claims. Most of us are in our REM (Rapid Eye Movement) cycle at this hour of the night. In reality, our body is completely relaxed at this point — the heartbeat, cardiac pressure and pulse rate is irregular. If in this state you are suddenly woken up, you are bound to feel a little jittery.

A brainchild of The Times of India, the world’s leading English newspapers, Times NIE nurtures progress and innovation. Adapted from the international concept, Times Newspaper in Education program (Times NIE) was initiated in India in 1985.

Today we have over 3000 schools and over 9 lac students subscribing to the programme, spanning 16 cities viz. Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Kochi, Lucknow, Coimbatore, Chandigarh, Dehradun, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, and Jaipur.

The Times of India Student edition, a customized student newspaper exclusively for the students, packs a powerful punch in terms of content that leads to a smarter and superior learning experience. The information is crafted such that it finds use in classroom discussions, thus making it relevant and current. It truly gives education a new dimension by fostering the simple habit of reading which in turn paves the way for a confident, informed and aware individual. A newspaper that inspires young minds and equips them to face challenges of today’s world, making way for global citizens.

Empowering students with new cutting-edge knowledge through various educative and informative activities is a commitment and tradition of Times NIE. The programme serves as a catalyst of education and interaction, as well as a window into the minds of the quintessential Indian youth. On a significant scale Times NIE comprises diverse interesting activities and events that boost the child’s passion for learning, while revealing hidden talent.

While you are aware that The Times of India is among the leading English Newspapers across the world, it has consummated its position as an everlasting winner. With several international awards and recognitions to its credit, The Times of India and Times NIE have validated an enduring tradition of setting the highest benchmarks in every respect. We have been awarded with the two most prestigious awards, Times NIE - World’s No.1 NIE program and The Times of India, Student Edition - World’s No.1 Newspaper for the youth in 2006 by the celebrated World Association of Newspapers (WAN). In 2008 we were honoured by the International Newspaper Marketing Association (INMA), yet another international recognition for ‘Youth Audience Development’. In 2013 we were again honoured by the celebrated World Association of Newspapers (WAN) as the ‘Times NIE - World’s Best Youth Engagement Program’.

Times NIE has grown remarkably over the last three and a half decades, touching millions of children across more than 16 Indian cities. Our absolute commitment towards the fledgling generation remains undiluted and our greatest strength lies in the school partnership and commitment.
