The uptime is grossly misleading. If you use uptime -s it is more meaningful:

$ uptime -s
2019-10-31 05:30:09

Now you can see it simply shows you the last boot time. If you want to know the real uptime see this answer. Sample output:

$ suspendtime
Oct 31 05:55:19 to Oct 31 16:54:26 lasting 39,547 seconds
Oct 31 23:21:21 to Nov 01 04:29:12 lasting 18,471 seconds
Nov 01 05:51:27 to Nov 01 17:08:34 lasting 40,627 seconds
