    Only way is to get your mind active. The possibility of getting in trouble is one of the best ways to keep you alert. Do something risky and then worry all day about the fact you might get caught for it.

    Red Bull only works a couple of hours after drinking it.. well for me anyways.

    Either keep yourself busy with different things or hide.

    Stay away from doing something mundane as you'll probably start drifting off.

    Coffee, get up walk about a lot, chocolate, sugary stuff, keep busy. Try to imagine you're about to be fired if you don't finish what you're doing, that will hopefully stimulate your adrenal glands to start pumping out stimulants...

    Nurofen plus/solpadeine, lucosade & a bowlie of good green. If my stomachs acting up, some nexium or something like that. (nexium's precscription, so if I didn't have that prescription some rennys or something).

    Punching yourself in the face has the same effect I find.
