There are a number of other advantages that you don't touch on; you get to cut out about 15% of your setup / tear-down overhead (e.g. the dragging yourself out of bed process, the booting up and logging in process, etc.). If it works for you (as it did for me) waiting to go to bed until you are really tired means you sleep more soundly and so you wake much more rested.

In short, I loved it and would highly recommend it if your lifestyle supports it.
