I should point out that I do have sleep apnea and I workout on a regular basis, so I don't get a good nights rest no matter what time I go to bed.

And I'm off caffeine per doctors orders.

Vitamin B-12. It kept me awake AND alert through graveyard shift at my job and a class the next morning. I went an entire course of 2 days with only 5 hours sleep! Even the next day the consequences weren't bad (I slept about 2 hours more than usual and then I was back in regular shape).
AND it's all natural. I highly recommend it.
And it makes your tinkle look like yellow powerade!

Have you tried apples?
An apple is as good as a cup of coffee for a morning or mid-day pick-me-up - apple juice if you don't like to munch. You can get fancy and blend an apple with Ice chips and yogurt - it makes a refreshing little drink that will give you a boost between meals. Here are some nutritional facts you may wish to peruse... http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/apples/nutrition.html
The other obvious answer is Tea... hot or cold, but you won't be avoiding caffeine if you go this way.
And... just for fun ..look at this pick-me-up recipe; (and guess what ... it includes apple juice.)

I went through a phase where I really became dependent on caffeine to stay awake at work, then one day I started to drink water throughout the day. I found that staying hydrated helped me feel fresh & somewhat recharged, rather than caffeine which eventually just made me feel sluggish after I stopped drinking it.

Get plenty of rest at night eat a healthy lunch not loaded with carbs and listen to music if you can.

regular exercise, drink enough water, eat at least 5 times a day, try a guarana supplement or yerba mate supplement (I would recomment tea but it tastes yukky)
water does most of the trick, as I recall... try to drink at least 3 litres per day.

I heard rhodiola supposedly gives you enerdy. It is made from a plant from like russia or something. It is found in health food stores, GNC for example.

Stay hydrated. Drinking water is nearly as effective as drinking caffine. Most people are chronically dehydrated anyway.

Get more sleep the night before, and sleep on your way driving to work.
