Here's a bi-partisan guess question for you. At what time on Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning do you think CNN and Fox News will be able to call the winner?
And, what time are you willing to stay up to, in order to find out?
I'll go to bed at the regular time (between 9:00-9:30 pm CST) unless something really profound is happening. I'm not one to fret over what happens.
If the guy I voted for wins, I'll wake up and the world will continue on Wednesday.
If the guy I didn't vote for wins, I'll wake up and the world will continue on Wednesday. (My mood may be different, but there won't be anything I can do about the outcome... so why worry about it?).
I'm always up until 3 AM EST. That probably won't change on election night. Considering they are talking about having to count ballets by hand in the hurricane ravished areas, we might not know the outcome of the election for days.

CST, here in Chicago.
I get up for work before 6 a.m., so I'll probably sit in front of the TV until 1 a.m. at the latest. I think the results will be in before then, though. Enough to know who wins the Presidency. No other controversial contests where I live, so no burning desire to 'have to' know local/state results.

That is the way I feel. Plus, I actually have to arise Wednesday morning and go to work. Regardless of the outcome, work continues.

By 7:00pm CST, the polls will have closed in Virginia, Oio and Florida. All of those states will proably be called by 8:00pm CST. With that, we'll probably know the winner,.
If not, the last of the swing states closes their polls at 9:00pm CST (Nevada).
95% chance that by 10:00pm CST the race will have been called by every media outlet.
I like to stay up as late as I can make it, especially if it's not obvious who the winner is, and sometimes even if it is, it's interesting to watch the other side melt down. I usually arrange not to work the next day so I can sleep. But I just realized I made a dentist appt for 9:30 am on Wednesday. Don't know how I am going to stay up all night and then make it to the dentist at 9:30 and be coherent.
