I have been awake for 40 hours, what can I take to help me focus better?

So I have been working on something really important and have been awake for about 40 hours. I only need to make it until around 2-3 this afternoon and I will be able to sleep for as long as I need/want to after that. I know its not healthy to stay up this long, so please keep that type of advice to a minimum (unless you feel you really need me to hear it). I am drinking coffee to stay awake and I have plenty of energy from that so there is no issue with energy or staying awake. However, I am having some difficulty focusing when I have to deal with some of the more detail oriented things I need to get done. Is there anything LEGAL and widely available (I am in Chile in S.A.) which I could take to give me 10-12 hours of better focus? Caffeine gives me the energy but I still feel spaced out which makes things more difficult, and thus take more time to complete which leads to more time before I can sleep. So if you are worried about me staying awake this long... the more you can help me focus the quicker I will go to sleep.

    In between say every half an hour you may take deep breathing for ten minutes.

    Adderal makes you focus and keeps you up, but its perscription only in the us, unless you can get it more readily there. It is to my understanding that in spanish speaking countries the doctors office is actually the pharmacy, in which case you can order your prescription there, but I dont know how long it would take to fill.

    In the future for projects like this, adderal is your best bet

    Best bet would be to get some sleep. You can "re-up" again later, if that is your thing.
