It is beyond me how this hasn't been posted yet, because this problem is epic. You thought you were prepared for Halo 2, eagerly anticipating its arrival with a full arsenal of electronics, but you surpassed one detail:

The Midnight Release.
Oh, and it will happen.
Games at this caliber call for it.

Here lies the problem...
Yes, you camped at your local game store a few days to be first in line at 12 midnight, and you skipped with glee back to the car with your new Halo 2 box, and you even managed reading the manual and operating a vehicle on the way back to your pad, but 'tis Tuesday 12 midnight. Oh yes, you have foiled your work and school obligations for the day with ease. It is only you and Halo 2. But the choice: Will you sleep so your body can endure the vigorous hours of sitting that awaits it? Is it even possible to sleep with Halo 2 in you possession? Now many of you chug with laughter at me, "Yo Ho Ho! I will easily play Halo 2 through the night! I have waited so long!" I am with you, brothers, but think ahead. Will your body withstand it? I have my ancient supply of treasured Jolt Cola to fuel my body threw the wake of night, but I worry... I worry because I have only made it to the 14 hour straight mark, and 'twas 3 years ago! Halo worked me for 14 hours straight before I lay unconscious, naked on my bean bag chair, with Cheeto dust about my face. I must prepare mind, body, and spirit for a butt-clenching rigorous Halo 2 spree that will long surpass the 14 hour mark, and into the 48 hour mark and I advise you to train. I am with you.
Good Luck Brothers,
raft

Update:
Raft's Helpful Hints for Playing Halo 2 to Max Hours
1. Caffeine:
Necessary to help brain active into long hours.

2. Comfortable Butt-cushion.
This is often overlooked, one must arrange their butt in the most comfortable position possible in order to withstand long sitting times. Try things out, mold your buttocks into various cushions, such as comforters, pillows, small animals, hair, or anything that your end region enjoys.

3. Destroy light
One must paint their windows black and tape all door cracks to prevent light from coming into the room. It is Halo 2 and yourself, no distractions of the ‘outside world’.

4. Destroy all traces of time
Please throw your clocks out they will not be needed. You should be able to play with no knowledge of what day it is, for should it matter? The only thing that should stop your Halo 2 spree is body/mind failure, or someone breaking into your cave to see if you still are alive.

5. Snacking Center
Make a snacking center to help fuel your body without the need to leave your butt-cushion. Any type of chips, pickles, crackers, oysters, use your imagination.

6. Emergency Snacking Center
If your snack supply depletes you will be ecstatic with one of these.

I mentioned this too. But i didn't get many replies. If there is no Midnight release, then when will there be a release? 10 am the next day? Balderdash!

i'm going to stock lots of rockstar and red bull. And no, it is not possible to sleep with halo 2 in your possesion.

RollinThunder I believe that Halo 2 is a very personal when it is first obtained.
Those hours spent in single-player will mean something to me, and I will play alone, until I unleash into muliplayer.
But be advised:
Prepare for the event.

I have waited for halo 2 for this long (what is it like 2 years or 3). I think I can manage waiting one more day if it releases at midnight. On my way to school I will simply stop by and pick it up and tadaa I got halo 2.

The possibility of Halo 2 getting "sold out" in every store for the first day or 2 where I live is highly doubtful. So to me it doesn't matter nor is it a problem to wait until next day.

That the trues thing i heared all day. Halo 2 will make school eaiser but make waiting 6 hours even more unbarable the demons will probaly make sure were tired on nov.8 that is their job to make us hate school. School should be tought my a TV and a luch we paly halo 2 that who it should BE. dam school. In japan there is middle school only then optional High school and collage enven thought it longer and most go on.
