You can go a lot longer than that, unless you need to use something that
runs on electric. A fridge that's not being opened can easily go for
6, 12 hours or more.

That's what I did during outages, no need to run the generator all night
(although the noise was acceptable then, since many did). About the only
thing I had to give up was drinking cold water during the night, but
that wasn't a serious loss.

Anything I needed at night (flashlight, fan on hot nights, and cell
phone charging) could be handled by batteries, recharged the next day.
