I'm shortly going to have a 'sleepover' of sorts with some girls who I'm in a group with for an important school project. I'm the kind of loser that goes to bed around 9:30-10:00 if I'm not too tired. We've pretty much determined that we'll be awake until at least 2 AM if we're quick. How can I stay awake and coherent long enough to finish this project?
Thanks for reading.

If you start feeling tired just drop an ice cube down your back.
or for a less uncomfortable solution, drink red bull, monster, etc.
beware not good for your health!

Aside from drinking coffee or tea, do some simple exercise to wake you up and keep the blood flowing (but not too much that you feel tired and thus want to sleep more). After some time of doing your school project, just jump in place or do some quick running (in place or around your area). Doing this in groups will most likely make it more effective.

There is a supplement called "Huperzine A" it also known as Chinese Club Moss, it is often sold at vitamin stores combined with Ginkgo Biloba. It is a natural stimulant and is also great for mental alertness. It is like an herbal Adderall but on a much scaled back level. You need a prescription for Adderall. You need a vitamin store for the other.
Exercise is also a great way. 1 min of jumping jacks when you are tired will get your adrenaline going.
