After 72 hours, the normal human being will suffer from extreme sleep deprivation.

The health risks are numerous and to attempt something like this is something I will not allow to be endorsed on any 888PL medium.

Who is this "normal human being" you are referring to?

Surely not anyone around here?

Do you get tv out there? I'm sure the world cup games would keep a few interested at 4am

Do you have electricity out there?

On a serious note... how warm is it in the shed? It's going to be like 4 degrees, meaning it will be 0 degress out @ gawler.
