Stick a fork in a plug socket? Not only will it keep you awake, the electrical goodness will supercharge you so your work will be done in no time. Or you could be boring and play really loud music or something
Search the internet for creepy videos/stories/pictures. You will not even think of sleeping after that.
The Victorians used a one legged stool...
...I guess the modern equivalent is a 'deadman's switch'. Simply put you rig up an electric system that triggers an alarm when it believes you're incapacitated maybe by pressure release on a pedal or a heart rate monitor...obviously totally unpractical in the time...

Masturbation.
Boosts your testosterone levels and gets you buzzed.
Or it's normally supposed too, I'm the only guy I know who gets hyped up after a wank session or sex.

ZOMG! STFU n00b.
Just kidding. You really needed a flame warning for this? Anywho.
Is it life changing? if so, follow these steps.
1. get handheld weapon, preferably revolver
2.apply to head/ Work enforcers head.
3. squeeze trigger.
Fastest way out of work. Or you could check out for the night right now, wake up and get going early on it.

Oh those were the days! It's 1:40am and I'm up working - 4am is an average bed-time for me these days thanks to uni work.
My advice is to have a nice glass of cold water - if you get dehydrated you'll feel sleepy. Just force yourself to sip it every paragraph or something.
Get up and go for a walk every hour/half hour/whatever you're comfortable with - preferably out in the cold. The temperature is a bit of a system shock and should jerk you awake, and not staring at a computer screen/pad of paper and looking at stuff further away gives your eyes an "active rest".
And pull the plug out of your internet connection
- at least for the hour/half-hour you are working and then give yourself a break where you can use it.
Anyway, I think that's enough procrastination for now, I really should be working...ooh, some fresh paint (it's more interesting than my sodding essay)!

Do some pushups or if you have some dumbells, lift weights. That always seems to give me energy for a while.
Sleep for 3 hours, listen to some metal, run around, take a really, REALLY hot shower and turn the TV on in the background.
Oh! I forgot about adrenaline! Do something dangerous to get the blood pumping and that should wake you up...Bored Tomatoe said:
shove some ice down your back.
that'll sure as hell wake you up.
if you want to be extra awake, try running around your house then sitting down again. i used to do that during all-nighters for school..

Take a 45 minute nap, work for 45 minutes, repeat. Do this every day and you'll get to the point where every cycle is REM sleep, so it's like two hours of your normal sleep. The downside to this is that you go completely insane after a few weeks. But it's totally worth it!
