    coffee, then stay active. Drink heaps of water and when you start to falter suck on a sugar lolly. Eat a big ass breakky too.

    You are feeling very sleepy.....

    Tekken, get teddy and have a quick nap. Even three hours of sleep is better than none. Have a hot cup of milk with a dash of honey, tuck yourself in and do deep breathing exercises. Just count your breathing for a count of 3, hold for 3 seconds and exhale for 3 seconds...continue until you've lulled yourself into a light sleep. At least lie down and rest your body if sleep doesn't come.

    Then have a coffee in the morning, a light breakfast (fruits, yoghurt)

    Grab some sleep now (assuming it's not already too late :D). As Lily says, even a little is better than none. IIRC, your sleep generally tends to go in 90 minute cycles, so tr to get at least three hours, or even an hour and a half.

    And when you're awake . . .

    Hope he managed to get some sleep :)

    Would anyone have any ideas on staying awake other than caffeine?

    Get up and move around frequently. Use excuses like popping to the loo, visiting the shop, nipping out for a ciggie / water fountain, etc.

    Water fountain? :D Jumping in one of those would sure wake you up. Don't know how practical coming back from your lunch hour dripping wet would be mind...

    I would have thought staying active would keep you awake, though I can use training to get me to sleep. Maybe it depends on the level of activity

    Back on topic. Do puzzles and brain work keep you awake or make you drop off?

    It'll use up glycogen reserves in the brain which makes you feel more tired.
