I am a big fan of coffee and loud music. If I start to get really sleepy, I usually call a friend and have them help me stay awake. When all else fails, turning the air conditioner on super cold will help, too!

I can relate to this question. I used ti drive 13 hour shifts and by the end it is all you can do to stay awake. On these mornings I would open the window, turn up the radio and sing along as I would drink large amounts of coffee. If I am not working and tired I will pull over to a parking lot and have a nap or at least close my eyes for a few minutes until I feel awake enough to continue on.
