If you have a problem with caffeine as well as coffee, you could try psuedoephedrine, it is in Sudafed. Of couse, if you're under 18 then the drug stores may not sell it to you anymore--this seems to be a new thing. I was sick last month and sent my husband out for medicine. The cashier at the grocery store made him sign a logbook just to buy the stuff which is SUPPOSED to be over-the-counter.
If you don't have a problem with caffeine, try No-Doz tablets, available at 7-11 and any drug store.
7-11 also carries a variety of other weird, but legal, stimulants. I would be wary of anything I'd never heard of, though.
Good luck staying awake!

Red Bull
Cigarettes (since you said "any other" stimulant would be OK!)
And now for the Real Good Stuff:
1. Avena Sativa (Wal-mart)
2. DMAE (works like a bloody charm - you can order it online; check google for "DMAE" before you buy. The liquid is better.)
3. Ginkgo Biloba is THE Killer Thing. (Wal-mart). It even improves sex drive, as a side-effect if you want it!
As a matter of precaution, don't take these three herbs before you DO want to fall asleep. If you take, for example, ten drops of DMAE, you won't be able to fall asleep for about four hours after that.
Another word of warning: if you do remember your dreams, DMAE and Ginkgo Biloba tend to give you very vivid dreams, which can be disturbing. If you want vivid dreams then fine, otherwise see precaution above.
Cheers - and happy night-owling!

Apple is better at keeping u awake compared to coffee as it contains more caffeine.Remember i read this in some old Reader Digests.

mountain dew has about as much caffeine as coffee. Tea does as well. Both more than coke, pepsi, and Dr. Pepper. Gurana is nothing more than powdered caffeine.

Without coffee or without caffeine. There are plenty of other drinks that contain caffeine.

Have a kip a couple of hours before you need to stay awake!

The best way would be to do something that keeps your mind and body active. Watch something interesting, do some exercise, or if all else fails, have some sugar.
