stupid o'clock
Coined by a graduate student while pursuing her PhD and teaching a full load of courses:
The time of day roughly characterized as being between 2:00 am - 6:00 am (depending upon your personal nocturnal patterns and time zone). It is the time when 'normal' people are asleep, because they have to be up and about during working hours the next day. You are exhausted and want very much to be asleep, too. However, you are awake at stupid o'clock because:
(1) you are grouchily doing work to meet a deadline (perhaps because you waited until the last minute to finish it or have perfectionist tendencies),
(2) you haven't yet gone to bed because you are too foolish/lazy to stop goofing off (surfing the net, talking to friends, watching TV/movies, playing video games, reading a book, etc.),
(3) you have to wake up much earlier than your usual time for an important event (which may be an unwanted obligation or an event you desire to attend),
(4) you experience tremendous inspiration and simply cannot stop writing, painting, coding, constructing or otherwise working on your personal project, whatever it might be (a rare usage of the term).

stupid o'clock
The specific period during the day responsible for decreasing the ability to make good decisions and create coherent, logical statements and/or thoughts. Usually a frequent occurrence that strikes in no specific pattern other than the time at which it occurs. The use of substances usually ensues after the period begins, but the former is not the cause of the latter.
