This is a trick I learned when I used to work selling hot dogs from a cart in downtown Vancouver. I remember those summer nights, when I'd stay up 24 hours playing a computer game or whatever, only to have work the next day...needed to do something to keep awake, and then I found out about this method, and voila!
anyways, if you start feeling sleepy, do the following :
- Take something COLD, like I mean COLD. Colder the better (a pop can that's been sitting inside a cooler full of ice is an excellent example. Ice Cubes wrapped in Siran Wrap are another good one).
- Place directly on your forehead. Roll it around.
TA-DA!
I don't know what it is, but doing this jolts you back awake, or rather, it stops you from feeling you have "heavy eyelids", which will eventually be your downfall. I guess it has something to do with the coldness of the object making the muscles above your eyes contract (colder the better  ) but I'm not to sure. Whatever, it works, and it's worked for me for years. I'm so used to very little sleep, I haven't gotten an 8 hour nap in months.
Afterwards, to help keep awake, make sure you do something ACTIVE. Sitting and reading a book, listening to relaxing trance, or surfing the net (depending what you're doing) will cause you to be sleepy again.
If you don't believe me that this works, go and try it now (if you're mildly sleepy that is) and see the results for yourself. 
Nocturnal people 4 life!
