I saw a couple posts say four hours, and some eight, realistically someone like me couldn't be alone for eight hours, so if that's how long it takes it would be unlikely for me to go the SN route even if I get it, I'm curious

Technically death from SN happens in about 40 minutes but you should give yourself as much time as absolutely possible. At least a few hours. So 4 hours would be a good minimum, 8 hours is ideal.
When I looked into it, 40 minutes is what I came up with too, but I'm guessing the whole point of having as much time as possible is to avoid being resuscitated afterwards? It took me a while to find the copy of the PPH that I'm not technically supposed to have, and all it tells me is that it takes 40 minutes but it doesn't say anything about needing more time than that.

It's been a while since I last looked into it so I don't remember. It was a long time ago that I bought SN and almost drank it but couldn't get myself to go through with it. I'll see if I can do some investigating to refresh my memory though.

That's why you do it at night. I don't know about your daily routine, but if you do it around 23:00, you'll get plenty of time until 7:00 or whatever time you have to get up

I remember to have read somewhere that it takes 4-5h minimum, sometimes less, sometimes more. You should find a place where you are alone for a while like an hotel room.

Realistically I wouldn't be able to be out all night without anyone noticing, sadly I'd have to do it at daytime

It all depends on your weight and how much SN you actually digest. 25g is way over the lethal dose, as for example if you'd weight 70kg a lethal dose might "only" be 1.5-2g. It is said to take 25g, to make it faster, and more peaceful. You'll need 8h if you puke a lot, you'll need 4h if you puke a lot, but still digest some. Of course it still varies person to person.
To answer your question, I'd recommend renting out a cheap hotel, or at least, officialy so.

40 minutes is what happens in most cases but it can be more. This is also 40 minutes after you drink. The average person is going to need time to prep drinks and will possibly hesitate which adds time needed. And yes, you want to have extra time to make 100% sure you can not be revived.
