Suggestions For How to Stay Awake All Night?

As the title says, I need suggestions on how to stay awake all night. I have to write a paper and study for a test for the same class tomorrow morning. Can anyone think of any over-the-counter pills that I could pick up at my local gas station to help me stay awake long enough and think clearly enough to get all this done? I have at least another 4 hours ahead of me, if not 6 or more.
Caffeine doesn't seem to do much for me (not coffee, anyway) so is there anything else I can take? Would a few cans of Red Bull do the trick perhaps?
Please, no suggestions for meth or prescription drugs, I don't have access to those nor do I have any desire to use them.
Thanks in advance.
 
Whenever I pull an all nighter, I just do it without any aids.

You may want to take vivarin or something while studying and make sure you remain caffeinated while taking your test, it'll help you with your recall.

sorry, not possible. it's hard to sleep while taking a test... my school is extremely strict on attendance as well. sleeping in class = absence which in turn = paying the instructor for make-up time @ $50 an hour x 2.7 hours = $135. I'd rather not pay $135 just to catch a couple hours of sleep 😉
 
thanx for the suggestions everyone, I'm off to the local gas station to pick up some vivarin or some of the other stuff (if they have it).
 
Obviously there are products like Vivarin, although I've had bad experiences with those. In the middle of the night, they make me all "jittery". I would suggest some coffee instead. For someone like me that doesn't drink coffee much, it seems to do the trick when I need it.

Every time you get sleepy, go to the shower turn it all the way on cold and jump in. Then go back to studying and quit being a sissy.
 
It is true that you do not have access to prescription drugs, but it is not necessarily true that they are less safe than non-prescription drugs. I think anyone would tell you that modafinil is safer than ephedrine.
 
Update: I got some Yellow Swarm, 3 Red Bulls, and some good ol' Taco Bell. If that doesn't keep me awake I don't know what will! Thanks again guys.
