Juliet was given the sleeping potion on Tuesday, and was supposed to drink it on Wednesday night, but Lord Capulet changed the wedding date to Wednesday so Juliet drank it Tuesday night. Juliet woke up late Thursday night or early Friday morning and killed herself. So she was sleeping for about two days, forty-two hours to be exact.

Friar Lawrence gave Juliet a potion that would put Juliet into a coma-like sleep for about two days straight. Everybody would think she was dead. Juliet's relatives would put her in a cellar (their family morgue) and Romeo and himself would be there waiting for her to wake up. Then Romeo and Juliet could live together in Mantua.
she was 'dead' for 42 hours
Not long: Only a day or so.
He says that death has been her bridegroom.

Forty-two hours
The one that made her sleep was three days. The one that made her die was forever.
Friar Laurence tells Juliet that she will appear dead for 42 hours after she drinks the potion, and then she will wake up as if from a pleasant sleep.
the capulets are preparing for the wedding; making foods; and nursesends someone to wake Juliet from her sleep but she has already taken the potion
Juliet's death was in the final act of the play -- after the death of Romeo. Juliet takes a potion that sends her into a deep sleep and makes her appear dead. When romeo finds her, he thinks she is dead and drinks poision. Juliet wakes up from her sleep and finds romeo dead beside her. She kills herself with a dagger because, just as romeo could not live without her, she could not live without him.

she was stupid enough to take the potion not knowing what it would do to her. for all she knew, it could've poisoned her. she was stupid enough to marry someone she barely knew. she was stupid enough to sleep with someone she barely knew. she was stupid enough to sleep with and marry someone who killed her cousin. bottom line, Juliet was completely stupid.

Juliet is part of the Capulet family, which have long since warred with the Montague family.
