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.
I agree with all of this - I also like to look out the window and in fact, on a recent flight on SQ from SIN to LHR our flight path was pretty interesting - took us over parts of Afghanistan, Iran, Uzbekistan etc. and since it was a clear day, I wanted to look out of the window and the FAs had no objection.
