Our election guide advises us to arrive at our sites by 5:30 am. We have a lot of equipment to set up and other things to do so that extra time is very helpful.

I never sleep well the night before. Of course once I am on the plane, I can sleep but at an election not so much.

If I am going on a road trip I leave early enough to avoid traffic and of course do not sleep
