I've been considering this recently as well. I suppose it comes down to the particulars of your situation.
For myself, I live in small apartment, I don't know or interact with my neighbours so I have some confidence they wouldn't interfere due to a few minutes of noise they hear. I'm also planning to do this in the middle of the night to minimize any variables.
I guess what would matter most is how easily sound transfers through your walls and how quickly someone could gain access to your room if they perceive an "emergency". I do have a lingering fear that the one time my neighbours would deign to interact with me would be to "rescue" me just in time for me to be rendered a vegetable. That would be just my luck, but probably unlikely. A dorm might be riskier but it's hard to say.
