When I retire I will simulate night flying like this:
1 Drive for an hour to a relatives house.
2 Sit on an uncomfortable chair under the stairs looking at the gas or electric meter.Ideally this should be done in a cupboard with a locked door.This should be done from sunset to sunrise.Also have a radio of static playing in the background and have a supply of poor un -nourishing food and a large bottle of water.Interior lighting should be very poor
Periodically write down the readings on the meter.Having sat there for 4-5 hours relieve yourself in a chemical toilet that has a very bad odour.To make the experience more realistic take a leg off the chair and cover the meters with cling film so that they are difficult to read.
3 Read yesterdays paper that has a half completed crossword.The interior lighting is poor so the paper will have to be constantly folded to illuminate the bit you are trying to read
4 Come out of the area under the stairs and refill your food.At this point you may also want to put some petrol in your car.Whilst doing this the cupboard is cleaned.Make sure that the cleaner has identification.
You may also find at this stage the home owner does not want to travel with you so strip your cupboard of all their belongings.
5 Repeat the whole process again
6 Sunrise and the key to the cupboard no longer works.Spend time attempting to leave the area.
7 You receive a message that your next night flight is in a different house to that which you are used to.
8 Drive home.Greet your neighbours going to work and scowl at anybody who may make a noise whilst you are trying to sleep.
9 Get up 8 hours later and do it all over again!
Happy flying!!
Note sunrise can be simulated by a 500000 candelera flashlight.
