[UK-CONTEST] Operating a 24 hour contest and staying awake?

[David G3YYD]

You may be one of the lucky 20% of the population, who can stay awake 
for greater than 24 hours and are still able to concentrate and make 
good decisions. The other 80% of us are not so lucky and having been 
awake so long do not perform very well. We have to do some kipping to 
keep us in top form.

So a key question is are you one of the minority 20% or the majority 
80%? Finding out which you are will decide how you handle it. I suspect 
because you are asking the question you are in the majority.
