    OK, this may sound "old", but based on my track record of staying awake to watch late movies (albeit, at home on the telly), I'm thinking of taking a little nap Wednesday afternoon when I get home from work.

    I know it's going to be super exciting, but all the same, I don't want to take a chance and find myself nodding off and waking up the the end credits music!

    Anyone else considering a restorative cat-nap?!

    Considering I was doing some editing work on my computer last night when suddenly I heard birds chirping and saw light coming from my window, (It was 6am and somehow I wasn't tired) I think I can safely say I won't fall asleep during this Star Wars movie.

    Beginning last night, I'm changing my sleep schedule to sleep all day/up all night.

    Yeah, I'll have to take a nap. I am notorious for falling asleep during movies.

    I'm gonna take in a lot of caffeine prior to the movie too.

    Something tells me that I might not need to take these precautions, but I will anyway.

    Yeah, even considering falling asleep makes me feel like an old fart.

    The larger concern for me at the movies is pacing of liquid intake...I actually went to the bathroom opening night of AOTC and missed Anakin's confession scene about the Tusken slaughter!

    I never even risk buying food or drink for the opening of big movies. Either it would make me have to go to the bathroom, or I'd end up feeling uncomfortable trying to hold it in.

    Since I have to get up for work at 6:00 on Wednesday the 18th, I've certainly planned to take a late afternoon nap before my supper.



    :cool: Mace Windy,
    too windy for spoilers!

    I really wish that I could take a nap Wednesday but I have an unbearable amount to do that day: Full class schedule, philosophy club after school, my extra French course at the community college, homework, and then studying for finals which start on Friday. I'll be lucky if I even get it all done in time to leave for the midnight showing. [face_worried]

    I would, but I'll be at work. That may just cause some problems. I'll be bouncing off the walls while I'm awake, though.

    Just reading these posts is making me want to knock out --- I-)I-)I-)


    I'll end up crashing hard after the movie's over. You know, once the build-up excitement to this movie is over, then I can catch up on sleep over the weekend. :)

    Yeah, May 18th is my birthday, and I have dinner reservations at my favorite place at 7:00PM. Once I leave there, no more drinks til after ROTS.

    I won't be able to do the Wednesday Afternoon Nap, as I have to work. But I can assure you I will be doing the Not Go To Work Thursday And Sleep Til Noon.

    I can barely get to sleep at the moment as it is. I can't imagine being able to do it on the same day I watch the film.

    I'll probably skip sleeping on Thursday night and just be posting around here/reading the book/playing the videogames etc all night through 'til Friday.

    At least you lucky people CAN sleep... for god's sake its been two nights now alternating briefs periods of sleep with last minute continuity doubts (enhanced by the forums) and check-ups on the DVD!!!

    I have the tickets for the 19th (no midnight session here in Spain) and I know I won´t be able to sleep wednesday night!!!!

    I don't think I'll be able to.
    Staying up late is not a problem for me, but I am more concerned about the day after. With the "after-movie" buzz, I'm pretty sure I won't be able to sleep.

    I'll look like a wreck all Thursday, haha.

    Soon my friends... soon!

    I might rest for an hour or two, but I know I won't fall asleep. This is probably the last time in my life I go see a movie at midnight, so I will NOT fall asleep. And yeah, I won't drink or eat soon before the movie or I will end in the bathroom. I'll run in the bathroom and midnight while my gf keeps our seats and will come back for the movie.

    Well, it wasn't a bad idea, and I gave it a good hour's try, but I'm too keyed up!!!

    6 hours 45 minutes to go . . . .
