I wish it were this glamorous. It's not.
I hate red-eye flights. I avoid them for a reason. Occasionally I'll take them coming back from Honolulu, but otherwise, nada.
Tonight, however, I'm on a red-eye from PDX-ATL, and by the time you read this, I'll be on board snoozing away a week's worth of stress next to two other (hopefully very skinny) people (who don't snore), with my new Brookstone travel pillow with matching face mask and travel blanket (since the airlines are too cheap to give us anything anymore and H1N1 has become the Black Death).
No book. A laptop. Much fatigue. Hopefully, some sleep.
Perchance to dream.

Despite my fear and loathing of red-eye flights, here's why many people like them:
1) Cheaper
2) Less crowded
3) Easier check-in
4) Less work time lost
5) Save cost of hotel room
6) Fewer screaming children
7) Far fewer calories consumed
8) No strangers bothering in flight
9) Shorter lines going through security
10) Happy reminder of high school bus trips
