On the way to a distant planet, three less-than-qualified astronauts are awoken 90 years too early and trapped inside their hibernation pods. Alone in the endless void, they can't kill themselves, and they can't kill each other, so they'll just have to kill time.

More About "Early to Rise":
Early to Rise opens with three low-ranking astronauts aboard the DreamBlaster spaceship, accidentally woken up from hibernation - with 90 years left on their journey. After the panic of being trapped in their hibernation pods wears off, they commit themselves to finding an escape.
Through endless weeks of bickering, boredom and a little bonding, the three accidental prisoners manage to get drunk, get laid, get a video chat, get on a game show, get briefly out of their pod, get permanently trapped back in their pod, get a random lady killed, get an order placed on Amazon and get a rescue ship eaten by a giant alien whale.
They do not, however, manage to get free.
