(i have many times mistaken as a 'unnormal' person)
lol, ^^ even now, i'm talking alone..
hahaha
I get the feeling you're so good looking that you're refreshed after seeing your own face.
Music, products, pain and horror.
After some time, your eyes stop feeling shitty, though
your mind won't be quite there.
Oh, and company.

The most successful method I know of is to not stop eating. I used to put a bowl of snack food next to my computer while working on projects overnight, and I'd make sure that the bowl and my mouth never stayed empty for more than a few seconds. This ensured that (1) I didn't run out of energy and (2) I was always physically active, at least in a small way (chewing, etc.).

I take my shower as late as possible, eat ice cream, and do some exercises like sit ups to get blood pumping. The shower is definitely the most helpful, and afterwards I wear summer clothes so I don't warm up and relax.

When my mind gets fuzzy and I can't really focus, what I do is rest my head and close my eyes for about ten seconds and then when I open them again, I feel a bit more focused. Sadly, this is only temporary.
Whenever I need to stay up late doing boring stuff, I would splash/wash my face with ice cold water then, I would do some kind of body movement (jumping jacks, lame dance, stretching). I would repeat the process when I would start to get sleepy again.

This world is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those that feel.

I often jump trough one or two days of sleep and then sleep all of the third day, but is only when i have the time to do that.
When i don't, and if i need to have some extra time, i just stay up all night and then nap when ever i have free time.
This is terrible for my health and i notice the effects. 🤣

I used to pull all nighters a LOT when I was in 11th grade. I used to stay up all night solving Maths and Physics problems from my coaching institute's damned difficult texts. What can I say? I was a very diligent student XD Those problems used to leave me frustrated until I was able to solve them. That used to be enough of a motivation to not sleep. Even if I did go to sleep, they would feature in my dreams 🤢 After that the solutions used to come to me like magic when I would be doing really menial tasks like eating.
Other than keeping the mind occupied:
- An hour or so of sleep during the afternoon before pulling an all nighter.
- Splashing my face with ice cold water in the middle of night.
- Slapping or pinching myself. Yes, I have been that desperate.
- Listening to some loud music to jerk myself awake. Eminem helps.
- I set hourly alarms on my mobile. If I do fall asleep they wake me up.

Messes up your internal clock real bad. I try not to stay up all night nowadays.
Hehe, I could say that I'm a pro in staying up late,
For I sleep at 3am everyday, and I only sleep because I want to, not that I'm sleepy, could probably even stay awake all night(and morning) long...
Tips...
1.Do something fun, play games or somethin...
2.Go on midnight walks (just like what I sometimes do, around 1~2 am,
might only be possible if your place is safe though, well, mine is, so no drunks or anything...)
3.Wake up around noon...
4.Always, always leave your TV on.. (In my case, it's always tuned in to different movie channels even though I never really watch, just so it won't be lonely in my place)..
5.Do not exhaust yourself during the day...
That's it, there might be more that I'm forgetting,
But that's it atm...

Willpower! Give in, and that's the end of you. Lol.
Really, it's bad, but who can help it? I always end up sleeping later than I originally intended to... I mean, that manga, that anime, that novel, that game, that whatever keeps distracting me! And to be completely honest, it's really just I'm too damn lazy to close the lid of my laptop, thus would end up staring at the screen.
On the only good way to keep myself awake when I don't want to, is to get off my lazy butt and start working at whatever's keeping me away from my dreams. Well, a manga or two might help, in between, for breaks. Give it another hour or two and I'd be very sleep deprived, but no longer dozing off whenever I close my eyes. In fact, I wouldn't be able to sleep for a good 5 hours or so at least, before I get my second chance at a bed... Good method to stay awake, bad method on your health. But every now and then, you have homework, you have deadlines, you have things that need to get done before you go to sleep or else you won't ever wake up early enough to be on time. And you end up without a wink the next day...
Alarms whatsoever have no use on me. Either I don't wake up, or I give in to laziness. You'd think somehow or another things'll work out, when in fact, they won't...

Tips? Practice makes perfect.
I've screwed up my internal clock so badly that it's natural for me to stay awake very late...
This.
Even if I don't feel well, I still stay awake. Plus, I'm reading and I love to do this so I have the will to not to fall asleep. There are times though that I fall asleep if it's boring.

Focus
Food
Friends (especially if you have nocturnal friends or friends in different timezones.)
EDIT: getting up and flexing every 30 mins also helps.
I give up. I see not point in living if I can't be beautiful.
