I flew JFK to Malaga, Spain on a DL 757. That flight is 60 miles longer than this one will be. It really is not that bad. I think a lot of it is just psychological. The cabin you are in is smaller, but at your seat it won't be any smaller than on a widebody. If you sleep for half of the flight and then get a meal and watch some TV, you'll be there before you know it. I guess I've just never had a problem even on a 14 hour flight to Australia. As long as you go into the flight prepared for the longhaul and with enough things to keep you occupied, time will fly by much faster than you think and the size of the plane won't matter. If it was on a CRJ...then I could see the complaints =)
