Red Bull -- acts similarly to high doses of Caffiene, but it's the Tuarine. Taurine's prinmary role is an anti-fatigue agent, and although you'll feel the up's and down's of the caffiene as you always would, Red Bull has (in my experience) greatly lessened the low. During school I was doing 18-20 hour days for almost a month straight, and I found the easiest thing to adjust was posture. If I felt it drooping, changing my posture to a less comfortable position actually helped keep my mind uncomfortably awake. I've got contacts, so eye drops were a must -- but they'll probably help you even if you don't have any.
And whatever you do, have some sort of random noise generation device. Some sound that you've never heard before in your life -- like a few random CDs that you just bought or borrowed. Shitty jazz or some random reggae. When you get tired, the songs you've heard will be melodic and soothing, something you DON'T want when you're sleepy. When you've got something laughably ridiculous and new in, your brain is more intent on listening to the new lyrics (or beats).
That's my experience, anywho. Take it how you will.
