In the movie Groundhog Day, did Bill Murray's character ever try to stay awake past midnight in the company of other people? I've seen parts of the movie, but not all of it, and while he definitely tried to kill himself I don't know if he ever tried this out. Like, he should have gone to a bar to see what happened at midnight - if the day was going to repeat, then everyone would have to magically disappear at midnight and go back to their physical positions at the beginning of the day, right? Does anybody know if he tried this? Also, did he always wake up at the same time/place on Feb 2? If he fell asleep out on the street did he always wake up in bed again? I think this answer might be a yes. These are the types of things I think about.
