It is three hours before Juliet is due to wake, which means thirty-nine hours after she took the potion. The problem is knowing at what time she took the potion. In Act IV Scene III Juliet takes the potion and it is the night before the wedding which is now scheduled for Wednesday morning. And from Act IV Scene IV we know that Paris shows up early before all the wedding preparations are ready, as the Capulets have not had a wink of sleep. On the other hand we know from Act V Scene III that when Paris arrives it is already dark, since his page carries a torch, and being July, the sun does not set early. If Juliet took the potion at 10 p.m. Tuesday night she would wake up 42 hours later at four in the afternoon Thursday, which is obviously too early. She must have taken it in the early hours of Wednesday morning, probably between three and five, meaning that she would wake up between 9 and 11 p.m. Thursday, and that puts Act 5 Scene 2 between 6 and 8 p.m.
