The original DVD/BD actually lets you choose between fast asleep and uneasy sleep modes, and a 6 hour or an 8 hour sequence (it does that by looping little segments and camera angles at random intervals, like the Beckham exhibit) and the nightmare sequences and other "special" events are scattered randomly through the night (and sometimes they don't appear at all). At the end of the 6/8 hour cycle she wakes you up.

The idea of the whole thing is that you put the video and watch her as YOU go to sleep, and if you wake up in the middle of the night, she's still sleeping at your side (or in front of you, depending on your TV setup)... I bet many guys are getting early to bed but not precisely to sleep.

You can still do it, with trippy MKV magic.

Ever heard of ordered chapters?  You most likely have.  Use that to do the repetitions.  What you most likely have not heard of is that MKV can also do multiple editions, which in simplified terms is like multiple sets of timelines, that you can choose between.  Combine ordered chapters and multiple editions, and you can work it just fine.  Though it'll be :effort: to do, and looking at how clueless Chihiro's encoders were in the past, they probably don't know how.
