O Dark Hundred is a military/intel jargon for the time two to three hours before dawn when military operatives wake up for dawn operations. Depending upon location and time of year, it is between 2 a..m. and 6 a.m. I often have nightmares at O Dark Hundred, which for me, is usually between 3 a.m. to 5 a.m.
