Honestly, not that bad. I've flown internationally twice recently, on red-eyes (not sure what time your flight is) and it was beyond smooth sailing. Both flights were direct with United FWIW. Given that it is one of the largest travel holidays, I would def recommend some extra time, but shouldn't need more than 2-3 hours prior to departure.
