You live in a van. Sleep it off in the van. There is a reason they want you out for the procedure and weigh that against the risk of you taking a dirt nap but no worries... Enjoy your procedure.
 
I seem to recall the instructions call for not drinking bright colored drinks which can coat the lining making it hard to read the results. I could be wrong.

Nothing red colored and nothing to eat after noon the day before the procedure and nothing to drink after midnight before the procedure. They had me take 24 doses of laxative mixed with Gatorade (any flavor but red) between noon and 6pm. After the procedure my boss/friend picked me up and we went to the bar for lunch and drinks. My girl picked me up at 2 and proceeded to chew my ass for about twenty miles (drinking is frowned apon for the first 24 hours afterwards). But I survived the procedure and barely survived the aftermath that is my woman. :)
 
You'll be happy to learn I survived my colonoscopy, they found one polyp and I'm fine.  It really wasn't bad.  It was a little painful, but nothing like a root canal.  The Dr. complimented how clean my colon was.  I didn't eat solid food for 72 hours before the procedure.
