The key to Yom Kipur (at least the key when you're staying home instead of going to services) is staying up as late as you can stand when you're only a little hungry and hope that you sleep through the bulk of the hunger.
You know what sounds like a good idea at midnight, slightly hungry and very tired? Going out onto the patio, in the rain, in my underwear to attempt a fix for a problem that probably won't work.
Did I mention that the rain gutter is jacked up and creates a lovely waterfall right outside the patio door?
I should probably sleep.
