I been doing for the Apple Watch and iPhone 6s Plus I started a movie around 11 pm est after that finished i watched a second one till it gets 3 am

What do you people do to make it on time for the iPhone preorder on preorder day ?
 
Set alarm for 2 minutes before and sleep.

BTW- Remove the word "people" in your title. More respectful.
 
Insomnia. I'm usually still awake by 12AM Pacific (CA resident). The annoying thing is that didn't help at all when I tried pre-ordering the iPhone 6 Plus. Apple's servers were just completely hammered.

Thankfully, that's not likely to be a problem this year.
 
Staying up to 3am or later on a Friday night is nothing unusual for me. If I don't have work or some other engagement the next day, I keep pretty unusual hours. It's not unusual for me to be going to bed when the sun is coming up. I don't know why I'm like that. I think I'm part vampire.

That's easy. I go to bed, get a good night sleep. Wake up and order. I have a phone, so I don't need to be an iPhone fanatic.

I am a natural night owl. I'm not preordering this time but I'll probably keep you guys company if I don't have to be up early for something. Preorder time is always a fun time on the forum.

Use the iOS app. Confirm your CC is up to date. Favorite the iPhone model you want. Wake up at 11:58pm. Go to cart. Place thumb on Touch ID. Go back to sleep.
 
Last year it took me 5 minutes to order the iPhone 6s Plus

I either preorder when I wake up in the morning or I reserve one in store sometime after it's released and pick it up then.
