I had a personal experience tuesday morning at about 05:00...
I was driving to the Walgreens pharmacy due to an intense sinus headache, planning on buying some Nyquil. I knew I was sick but all of a sudden i became severely nauseous and stopped the jeep to get out and lose my cookies. I woke up lying on the pavement beside a huge puddle of upchuck, i looked up at the sky and saw the beautiful stars but I was too weak to get up.
I was on my back in the middle of the busiest intersection in my city, I slowly got up and scanned my surroundings. I was in the middle of the intersection of two 4 lane streets, strip malls and street lights all around me where shining bright... but no cars, no humans, nothing but neon lights and sodium vapor lights as far as the eye could see!This was one of the oddest experiences I ever had made even more surreal by the total lack of other humans. Suddenly I felt like i was at the start some sort of apocalyptic Science fiction movie. Really strange, As I slowly stood up to climb back in my jeep I thought how great it would be if a cop showed up.
really odd to wake up laying in the city's busiest intersection and see no other humans.

Good god, man, I hope you are feeling better! Your five a.m. experience would have been different here, given that Rapid City has a lot of very early risers - I think it partly relates to us being on the eastern edge of our time zone, and partly to lying in ranching country where there's a lot of rural people already starting activity at that hour.
It does sound very "The Quiet Earth," the one with the guy waking up in some New Zealand city and there's nobody else.
