All the redeyes I've done this year (a couple too many) have had full gates of people waiting to board the aircraft as I was deplaning.

I actively avoid the midcon redeyes, including once booking an extra connection so I could redeye LAX-MCO rather than LAX-ORD. The worst is ANC-SEA with a strong tailwind...under 3 hours. I did that once this year, but with $600 in UA travel credits in my pocket.
