My iPad Air started playing music in the middle of the night. I checked the alarm and did not see anything set, is there some other location where some setting could have triggered this?

Thanks.
 
Do you have any 3rd party alarms on your iPad, which might be set such as Alarm Clock HD or Nightstand? These have wake to music features.

Also, I have heard of people accidentally activating "Hey Siri" while talking in their sleep. I have no idea if that's true or not, since I thankfully don't talk in my sleep. My wife used to, but she hasn't recently, the last time I can recall, was before Siri.

But her name is Sara and "Hey Sara," will often wake up Siri :)

Believe it happened to me a few times once. Was in class, turned up control centre to toggle airplane mode (iPad was having problems airplaying to my Apple TV) and music just started playing.

I noticed it was music that was left paused in the music control section of control centre. Maybe some bug is causing it to auto-play by itself? Stopped after a while and never experienced it ever again.
