Peter is absolutely correct. It refers to 3:34 or 3:35 AM. The lyrics tell the story

Waiting for the break of day
Searching for something to say
Flashing lights across the sky
Giving up, I close my eyes

Sitting cross-legged on the floor
25 or 6 to 4

Feeling like I ought to sleep
Spinning room is sinking deep
Flashing lights across the sky
Giving up, I close my eyes
I close my eyes

Should I try to do some more
25 or 6 to 4

Sitting cross-legged on the floor
25 or 6 to 4
Should I try to do some more
25 or 6 to 4
