Not exactly... Maybe for the tzibbur but not for me.
First day went: seuda, finished at chatzos (my 9YO said this massive twenty minute story and I didn't want to interrupt her on RH). Slept until 2:40 mincha, seuda shlishis after. Was in the Beis Midrash after that.
Second day, my wife went to tekios right as I came home, then we ate. Slept like a rock until maybe 3. Went to the Beis Midrash until mincha and then tashlich and then back to the Beis Midrash.

In YOEC I always seemed to pull the 3am-4am Tehilim shift, but heaven help the soul that the Rosh found napping on R"H afternoon.
