Super-luminova not as good as Tritium

In one of zOwie's FAQ's it states "A couple of hours exposure to light is sufficient to keep the Super-luminova glowing all night." I am a bit disappointed with Super-luminova as it bearly keeps glowing all night. After wearing the watch in the house under normal house lighting conditions then going to bed at 10:00pm, I find the glow all but gone at 4:00am, that is only 6 hrs. I think all night is a bit exaggerated. I just bought a Seamaster (2531.80) and I wish Omega was still using Tritium. It is not very practical to put my watch under a strong lamp for 2 hrs before I go to bed so I can see the glow in the middle of the night when the kids wake up.
