Recently did the LAX-JFK redeye.
Lights off for takeoff and stayed off.
No announcements, no food service
DRinks and snacks on request but most tried to sleep.
Lights on about 20min out.

Enabled you to maximise sleep, coffee and breakfast on the ground at 6am.

IMHO this is the way to run the flight.

Yes it would be good but QF will need to create a separate "product" as they advertise, F&B service, IFE etc on their flights so having a "Redeye Flyer" product as listed above would ensure people's expectations are set differently.
