Yeah, I do have a suggestion: go to sleep, you idiot. How in the hell could playing video games in the middle of the night be worth going to work on no sleep whatsoever?

Food helps, for energy, as does caffeine.
Try drinking a lot of water; this is especially helpful if you are planning on working at a desk at all, because it forces you to get up for the bathroom at regular intervals. Wash your face with cold water and DON'T LIE DOWN. Ever. Not even "Just for a little while".

You can't, it isn't possible. You just have to power-nap every chance you get. You don't even have to fall asleep, just lie down somewhere and try to imagine your batteries recharging. It works wonders, at least for me.
If that fails, go to plan b. Get your hands on some roofies. Take one, and very quickly rig every door in your immediate area with buckets of ice water, so that if anyone opens them, they will be soaked. Why the roofies? For the element of surprise.

Keep yourself stimulated. Ever seen Crank? Think of it like that, except less extreme. If you slow down too much, you fall asleep.
you could try finding a food you hate (and i stress this you must absolutley hate it)and when ever you feel tired take a bite chew and swallow its torture but you feel wide awake afterwards
I already saw someone who posted this, but 5-Hour Energy worked for me, also. Natural tired feeling and everything. If anything, I think it makes me a little gassy. Well, gassier. Lol. I've also heard of this other energy drink called FRS Healthy energy or something. A guy who makes videogame playthroughs on Youtube put up a quick review of it recently. Search for THEKINGOFHATEHD, and look for Phil's DSP Tries It video about it. Shouldn't take too long.
He's pretty funny if you want to play a game, but are not sure about it. He uses a camera instead of a capture card so the audio is live and he doesn't have to edit commentary over the footage. He's not the best gamer in the world, and complains quite a bit, but he's VERY funny. Check him out. Peace.

Sleep while you still can, obviously. Unless it's half an hour.
I went to Cedar Point [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cedar_Point] (Hyperlinked for those who aren't familiar.) once with only a half an hour of sleep, and I'm fairly certain it made me more tired than if I were to not sleep at all.
If sleep isn't an option, well... keep yourself busy. If you're tired enough, you won't even realize you've passed out on your couch when you go to take a sit for a minute or two. (This has happened to me. I remember waking up, but not falling asleep. Feels weird man.)
Using willpower to keep yourself awake should work too. Don't ever dwell on thoughts like "Oh man, I'm tired as ffffffuuuu-" or "I could really use a lay down now." The less you think about how tired you are, the less tired you'll seem. Mind over matter, my friend.

Keep your mind active, keep doing stuff, don't sit down and relax, absolutely no sex (actually I just saw LAN party so forget I said that...), and minimise the time you spend looking at screens as much as possible. If you do it right you won't even need the caffeine.Maka112 said:
Lots and lots of Energy drinks. and food. Adrenaline would be nice of you could get your hands on it.
adrenaline, long periods of a small continuous doseage (naturally ofcourse 
the drugs is 1-hard to get 2-illegal w/o being given by a hospital 3-expencive as hell.) a good mix of fiber, suger, protien in food, as little starch as possible. keep your mind working, fast and/or hard, small excerisze, ie, walk around your local area, listening to hard rock, or faced-paced techno.
i'm an insomniac, so it's not a problem for me i'm also a natural night owl, and only need a couple hours sleep every day or 2, apparently i function fine w/o alot, or almost any XD

ginsig is the way to go, it's more natural, and the fall from that boost is softer, and your able to keep going, unlike suger or caffienestinkychops said:
Why no sex?BonsaiK said:
I'm always hyper after sex.
Other than that energy drinks and loud music.
That can't be good for you in the long term :O Also, what on earth do you do with your 22-hour days?RatRace123 said:
