Personally, I always feel that I can cope with cosmic cataclysms that much more easily if I've had my morning coffee first.
I dont think that should be a problem. If the mayans were anything like modern astronomers, then a new day does not begin and end on consecutive midnights, but rather at midday, i.e. the time period between two successive returns of the sun to the local meridian. The day starting at midnight is a civil calender invention.
Therefore, if the Mayans used a solar clock, and not our modern civil clock, then you can be up and about, have a morning coffee, and have the house cleaned and dusted in time to welcome the upcoming apocalypse. And if you do miss it, Im sure you can watch it all again on youtube!
