I'd definitely be one to vote for there being a "library" cabin for those who wanted quiet & darkness for nearly the entire flight (just please don't make it the front C cabin on the 777, or upper deck on the 747 )
The rule of thumb I've tended to go by (on a redeye transatl) is when the FAs start serving breakfast (I'm usually on a flight that lands around 8:00 a.m.) since the cabin will start getting noisier then anyway.
