Maybe a tin foil hat for the Roomba, they work on humans.

A few months ago my TV went on in the middle of the night. I figured I had to have hit something in the remote earlier. never happened again. my Roomba is another story. it's gone off in the middle of the night several times but there's always been an explanation. usually user error

Take it completely apart and throw the prices in different public garbage disposal cans.
If within the next week it reappears and starts cleaning. πŸ‘€ SELL THE HOUSE!

What model roomba and how old? How often do you use it? Same Q for stereo.
The brain in the roomba does not have a very long expected life.

As others have mentioned, reboot your Roomba and that should fix the problem. Ours didn't start cleaning, but it would light up at about 10 pm every night. The reboot fixed it. Does your stereo have a clock/timer? If not, I have no idea why it would just turn on, unless you have a pet which might have hit the ON button.

The roomba thing doesn't surprise me at all. My roomba used to do weird things like that, too. I really hated that thing so much.

As far as the stereo system goes, what type of music was playing? If it was radio it's possible that you when you had it on last, the radio signal was lost at some point and the music stopped playing. Then it refound the connection at 4am.

Do you have a spouse? I recommend watching a 1944 film, Gaslight, if you do.

Stress-
The stress that kills you is the stress you can do nothing about.
Welcome to the new world of gadgets.
Solution to a many of them is an old tool-a big hammer.

Sounds like it's time to call Ghost Busters.

You got me thinking, do you have a Siri command device in your home? Perhaps for some reason it is commanding the stereo to activate.
Something could have infiltrated the system. Just a thought.

The Roomba is not programmed (because I don't know how). And the stereo system cutting on was very unnerving. I thought I had a home invasion. Anyone have any suggestions other than the Russians are hacking? Or that I live in the upside down world? I am getting sleep deprived from all these shenanigans.
I have had my roomba for a couple of years. Never learned how to program it. About 2 months ago it started cleaning on Thursday night at 5:50. Blamed new neighbor ??? Thought he hacked my wifi ?

Just two days ago at 4:00 AM our television started up, freaked us out as it woke us from sleep when we heard loud voices. I was ready to grab my gun. Thankfully I didn't hear the theme music from Twilight Zone. I don't know of any setting on the TV or the remote that will turn on the TV at a certain time.
