the site is in the middle of residential neighbourhoods, it shuts down because of noise bylaws. but really, if you wanna get all sketched out and go crazy, the electronic tents start up at 10 in the morning and go til 11 at night. that's 13 hours. if you were going to do that normally you'd go for that long, you'd just start later.. am i wrong? so just alter your daily plan and no problems. not like you'd see the daylight any time in those massive tents. (Which are awesome... lasers, projections, huge sound, lights, other eye-candy). and who says you have to be sober? there are plenty of beer tents if i remember correctly, and you can drop pills whenever you want..... if you like the bands you should go.
