If you don't need to be anywhere at a specific time, go for it. You might even benefit from being able to be bumped to a later plane.
But. If you have any sort of need to actually get to where you're going, don't tempt fate. Murphey's Law will be activated and you will not get to where you need to be. You will miss your connection. You will be stuck in an airport, trying not to panic. You will be exhausted and stinky when you finally get to your destination. The rest of the day will feel like you stepped into a well and can't get out. You'll go to bed as soon as you are done with your day, but won't be able to fall asleep (WHY???!). The next morning you'll still be tired.
Yeah, that's what happens. Don't try it.
(The vacation at home was awesome though--just what I needed...and definitely worth the madness of the return flight.)

We travelled to California for my brother-in-law's wedding. The trip home was the Sunday before the first day of classes in college. You know, the "show up or get dropped" classes.
We were on the first scheduled flight, and it was delayed and ultimately cancelled. After all day in the airport, we finally caught a red-eye through Las Vegas that got us to an airport three hours from home. We had to rent a car and pay a one-way drop fee.
We got home at 5 a.m., giving me enough time for breakfast and a shower before heading to an entire day of classes.
Wheeeee!
