Roll over and adjust the covers.

And if that doesn’t work, get up and say the Office of Readings (some monks somewhere are likely to be saying the equivalent at about the same time).
 
Matins aka the office of readings.

I’m frequently up at that hour. When all else fails I pray Matins. Afterwards, I am able to go back to sleep.

A rosary would also probably work, but I’d be too nervous about falling asleep in the middle of it.

Change a diaper. Fire up Netflix. Pray, try to settle my mind down.
 
Lie awake and listen. This hour of night is most often when God speaks to people and grants them answers to prayers. Maybe he’s just trying to get through to you.
 
8 answers already!!! Geez. Love your answers you guys. Keep posting. But I will seriously pray during that hour.
 
Listen to Coast to Coast AM for a while- its on from 1 to 5 am here in the Eastern Time Zone.
 
Oh I have more.
Answer the door, gun in hand.

See if my wife wants to wake up.
 
Sorry I don’t think that’s exactly safe for me. I’m only 15 and some of my neighbors are 😬
 
Say the Mercy Chaplet and other prayers until you fall back asleep in God’s arms.
 
Pray the chaplet of Divine Mercy for those who are dying at that time. Your prayers will be used by the Lord to save souls who otherwise might be lost.
