Ways to stay awake
Bastardous Bassist:
I stayed awake into the wee hours playing Halo 3. The thing is, I was studying for the Physics GRE that month (a month is not nearly long enough to study) and I had banned myself from playing video games. Then one of my friends knocks on my door and wants to try out Halo 3 (my roommate had bought it). I figured that I'd like to try it, and since I kind of hate how repetitive the story is in all of the Halo games, I never wanted to play Halo 3 again. So we kept playing until we beat it. I haven't touched the game since. Also, when I first started playing Half-Life 2, I kept saying "I'll stop when I get to the next stage." It was light out when I went to bed. Video games help keep your mind going. Well, some of them do.

Not laying down. As long as I am sitting up in a chair, or standing, I can usually go on. [THE CHAIR CANNOT HAVE ARMS - VERY IMPORTANT]
Fucking and eating are both bad ideas, don't listen to them. :-P
Whatever McStuffpants:
Nothing more effective to me than having to finish a project for the next day :roll: No "artificial" aid used, ever.
In addition, I don't play it but World of Warcraft is a hell of a way to stay aaaaall night up. Some friends of mine have proved it several times.
Last time I spend a whole night up was this July, chating with two friends after a party. At 8 am my eyes began to close, and then what really worked was drinking one gulp of curdled milk (totally unintentional, but my brain and my stomach might took it as a threat, hehe).
Hat:
Pulling an all nighter tonight cause I forgot I have a small assignment due tomorrow morning at 8 am and also I have to go to the dump at 6 am. I don't have an alarm clock lately so I find I've just been pulling all nighters to compensate for the lack of anything to wake me up that early.
It sounds bad just doing this shit because I'm too poor to go out and spend 10 bucks on a clock radio, but since I work nights anyway this isn't really a big deal. I'll probably hold off on caffeine until about 4 am when it might have a chance in hell of helping me achieve the things I have to achieve tomorrow.
The best part about this is I have work at 6am on Wednesday morning so basically tomorrow I will get home from uni at about 10am, fall asleep, wake up about 8pm and need to go back to sleep immediately to get back up for work again the next morning (I suspect another all nighter coming on!)
The worst work/sleep schedule I have ever had, by the way:
Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday: Work at 6 am, uni from about 12-6.
Thursday/Friday: Work from 8 am till 6 pm
Saturday: Work from 6pm til about 5 am
Sunday: My only day off: wake up at about five pm, get blind drunk until about 10 pm, go out clubbing till 5 am, roll into work still munted at 6am and repeat.
Basically a normal working week except slightly longer and with the Saturday night shift thrown in to keep me perpetually off balance. I do miss day shifts for one specific reason though, and that is because sleeping during the day in Summer is FUCKED.
