Only 10 hours? , I could do that in my sleep!
...actually my experience has been that drinks with both caffine and sugar in them can keep you going for a certain time period, but when they wear off you feel more tired than if you'd had black coffee with just the caffine, but without the sugar.
So my methods are....
1: black coffee - stay away from sugar
2: water - to counter the coffee and dehydration from spits
3: keep the car cooler rather than warmer for sure
4: music - not a lullaby
5: or talk radio - can keep me interested
6: a big bag of spits to eat as you drive - keeps me awake as well. (see #2)
All said, if you are feeling drowsy beyond safety than park the car, and get some sleep. A very tired driver is a very dangerouse thing on the road. Do yourself and others the favor of pulling off.
