After 100 years of heaven, you may grow tired of it, but then you'll go through another 100 years of the same thing. Then that 100 years becomes a 1000, and then 10000, and then 100000. Even at the 1000000 mark, there will be no end in sight. Always stuck in a state of 'perfection' or close to perfection that one would have experienced and be forced to experience for an eternity. This then doesn't become heaven, more like Hell. Without an end, there is no meaning, no sense of achievement, no escape.
As with fading into nothingness, you lose consciousness, you cease being aware and simply slip into nothing. You wouldn't be aware of the eternity ahead, nor any pain or boredom. That would be more akin to heaven than anything else, but really is actually closer to the concept of Nirvana than anything else.
There would be no time in heaven as time is man made. It will be timeless, so 100, 1000, 10000, 1000000 years in human time would be pretty fast to the timeless. You would not get bored because timeless is fast, look at a dream as it can seem to go on for days and days and it's as if time does not exist, heaven will be like that. A dream that seems to go on for days and days, you wont know what days are, nor weeks, nor months, nor years. you would be used to no time as you cease to be a human anymore where time is everything.
Time is a human thing, being bored is a human thing. No time? no bored.
