When I've tried everything and I know that I just can not sleep (mom needs a ride, in laws need help, house needs cleaning, gotta work, I know, busy life, how in the world I have time to be here I don't know), I take the pills. I was fortunate to find that my local Dollar Tree sells them. They are called "Stay Awake" and they work very well. I was not able to sleep for three days at one point because life was so chaotic, and each time my lids started to drop I popped one of those and I was ok. I didn't even look tired. Or try No Doz. They work good too, from what I've heard, but this dollar stuff really works great.

I walk around; go out and get some fresh air; go for a short drive (if I'm not too tired).
As a last resort if none of that works, I look in the mirror.
It scares the hell out of me and I'm good for another two hours.
My doc says, "STOP THAT, you've already given yourself 4 heart-attacks." But what the heck does he know?
Addendum:
I just remembered what Picasso, or was it Salvador Dali (sp), would do. He sat loosely holding a metal spoon or fork over a metal cup. When he dozed off, the noise of the object falling into the cup woke him up. I tried it a couple of times. It worked.

They sell things at the local minit marts, gas stations, etc. I took yellow jacket once to stay awake when I was a bartender and it works, but it gave me the shakes. There are lots of new products on the market now. I think there is even one called no doze. I would check my local walgreens or whatever you have in your area.

I would wash my face with really cold water every 5 mins.
It's terrible when that happens!! Also, I'd watch a good movie, some people get sleepy with movies, but if it's good, it would keep me interested and awake.

I drink cold water.
And I'll exercise, like do jumping jacks or sit-ups or pushups or something like that.
And I'll splash my face with cold water continuously.

Try to do as much as you can standing up.
Splash your face with cold water.
Use an 'upper'.
