Already holding Saturday night - sleep through the 5th and only stand Sunday 6.44
We are not buying a night. We already have Friday and Saturday paid. The other room was which one extra night to buy. This is: do we literally not leave the bed Saturday, skip the last Kumbal on purpose, only stand first Randoli Sunday 6:44. Partner says that is wasting a paid Saturday. I say that is the only way we are upright for Randoli.

Saturday 6:28 = last Kumbal (end of this phase). Sunday 6:44 = 1st Randoli (start of the next). Sleeping through Saturday does not cancel Sunday. It cancels the last night of the phase you just watched. Randoli is the one people mean when they say the big nights start. A paid Saturday room can be a recovery room. That is a choice, not a waste gazette.
If you sleep Saturday, sleep. Do not "pop out for an hour" at 18:20 and stand a dusk start on leftover legs. Eat, water, coils, bed. Sunday 6:44 is still a squeeze.
We slept a paid Kumbal Saturday and did first Randoli. Did not feel stupid. The people who stood both were heroes and wrecked.
