Can't do it. Your body will sleep eventually, when it shuts down. See if you can't cut down on some of the "random stuff", and try to get some power naps during the day. If you have to, miss the occasional class or two to catch up on sleep, and borrow a friend's notes. Pseudoephedrine (cold medicine) may help you stay away occasionally, but don't overdo it.

Cut out every other non-essential task that you do. Analyse your time, and all the imbetween time when you're doing nothing, make sure you are doing something useful!
Don't faff around before bed, or in the morning getting ready.
Learn to fall asleep very very quickly, and take the maximum you can. Also, take sleep in blocks of 4 hours at a time, so that you get adequate time to dream - your memory and intelligence suffer if you keep taking small catnaps instead of longer blocks where you can dream properly. However, catnaps are better than nothing.
Having too little sleep makes you ineffective, stressed and emotionally tender. It will make your school-work below your best, your feelings lower and your body weaker from exhasution. However brilliant you may be, you could be more so with proper sleep!

You can't just cut out sleep without adderall or other drugs, which would only work a few hours anyway, after a few days you would microsleep standing up, on the job, anywhere. The same way your body can't extinguish flames if you set yourself on fire, you can't stay up without sleep. You aren't an X-man.
So simply be very efficient with the time you have, or cut out an activity. Since you're a human being, sleep simply can't be one of them.

DONT!!!!!!.
Sleep is as important to you as food . Consider why are you doing so much work are you in debt or are you being greedy . All that work is just a slow way to kill yourself and if you drive a quick way more accidents are caused by sleep deprivation than alchol .
You will also do a lot of damage to your body weight gain your endocrine system will get battered , Depression ,and making bad life decisions and they can certainly hang about longer than doing two jobs and sometimes you have to d two jobs to rectify them A dread full nagging wife '' Why don't you buy me and dread full kids '' why don't you buy me'' or is this familiar slow down and SLEEPzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!

Be sure to take little "cat naps" whenever you can. Set cell phone alarm if necassary. Many famous politicians, esp. while campaigning, would only sleep 3-4 hrs at night but take 3 or 4 10 minute or so naps during the day. Good luck.

Well, I hate to break it to you, but eventually your body will make you sleep no matter what or you will die. yes, that's right I said die. You see the body uses this down time to rejuvenate, cleanse the body and create more cells to keep you alive. Without the sleep you would die. they did a scientfifc test on lab rats by keeping them awake and they all died without sleep. No way around it, schedule some time to sleep, try consolidating tasks to save time. take cat naps (10-15 minute naps) , but don't try to go without sleep for long periods of time. You cannot win. Your body will shut itself down if that's what it takes to get you to sleep. Trust Me I know this from experience.
