6am
Before most wake
6am (also 6 a.m. or 6 AM) is six o'clock in the morning, the hour when early risers wake and night owls finally sleep.
It marks the boundary between late night and early morning—I've been up since 6am suggests discipline or insomnia, while I got home at 6am suggests a long night out.
