Main U Verse receiver and TV keep turning on in the middle of the night

Every night my main U-Verse receiver and TV turns on several times during late night hours (last night started around 11pm) thru early morning.  It only happens at night (never during the day).  We just got our new receiver a few months ago (we are new U-Verse clients) and it started when we got it.
