Never had this happen before
I got up around 6 AM and the water was working. I went back to bed and then got up around 8 AM, the water wasn't working. I was hooked up to city water. I looked out the window and the water was still...

Is this the type of regulator you are using?
They are actually just restrictors vs regulators.
Replace with an adjustable pressure regulator such as Watts
They are also re-buildable
Actually the item pictured is a pressure regulator- they are not a "restrictor." A restrictor reduces the volume of the water flow, but does nothing to the pressure. A water pressure regulator reduces the pressure and, in theory, does not restrict the flow, but some do only because of their construction.
That is correct, however they are troublesome and work poorly under some conditions.
And if a pressure reducer fails it is always better to fail shut rather than wide open.
