Because realistically there's plenty of time to revise or even do a practice paper then, but I'm concerned that my (somewhat limited :P) critical thinking skills will be dead and gone by about 2:30 if I'm applying myself all morning? Afternoon exams are such a hassle!

Anything that does not involve physically writing down answers to past papers.
Because that is a huge trap. Doing past papers on the morning of an afternoon exam will most certainly wear you out.
Ordinarily, you should not be dealing with past papers altogether. If you insist on touching past papers, the furthest you should go for is just skimming over the easy questions and reading the solutions to the hard ones. If anything, it's better to focus on keeping calm, or if you'd rather be productive then just revising key formulas and methods/techniques to solving problems. Go over anything that doesn't involve questions (e,g, a list of silly mistakes to avoid in the exam) and do not waste brainpower.
