blood-rich beef like a medium-rare steak. contains a lot of vitamins and minerals that keep you going for a tad 
Banana's
Fibre-rich sugar-free cookies (or just a whole-wheat bread sandwich with meat or peanutbutter)
Coffee works for a short boost, but also gives you a energy-low when it stops working..
Don't eat sugar-rich stuff. May give you a boost for a few seconds, but a terrible low after a few minutes which makes you struggle to stay awake.

ive used caffine pills very high doses of coffee with horrible amounts of suger in them , but the best ive found is just be doing something half intresting.. you will get tired but if u push thru the tiredness you get like a reserve energy and you can keep going for 4-5 hours.. after that it gets bad..
but coca cola+coffee should work
p.s do not use any narcotics.. you will get wtf owned

silly me, i forgot to post something useful(though many would say everything i post is utter shit, bastards!)
as far as food is concerned, anything... it gives you energy to keep awake
though, as you asked what keeps *you* awake... I find lying on my back keeps me awake, no matter how long or hard i try i just cant sleep, even as a child i used to sleep on my side/front(my parents used to worry, afaik its what cot death is:-/)
everything else just makes me sleepy
my advise to you however is several pills of pure ketamine!

I got nightshift work 3 days a week and need to go the university the morning after. What works for me is fruit, water, ciggies(yes I know it is not a drink hehe).
Ive had times without sleep for more than 55hours - then my body starts to shake and I know it is time to find a place to crash for a few hours.
Sleep is an illusion...

I drink man juice,
Ok on a more serious note, when i wanna hardcore it, i generally find that a 2litre botttle of coke zero does the trick, drink 2 litres over a course of 3-4 hours and there is no way ur gonna sleep!

IMO caffene(typing?) when used in light amounts (like in coffee, cola etc normal) makes no difference, at least for me.
As I'm a finnish guy, I stereotypically drink coffee all day long, so that excludes it as a method to keep me awake. Actually, at night time I must limit the drinking of coffee, because warm drinks ususally makes me douse off
Water or mineral water is good, but it must be ice cold to be able to drink it and well, one must have a truckload of it (ofc it can be an solution to stay awake as you need to run to toilet every 10minutes after drinkin 3*1,5 litres bottles of mineral water hehehe). Red Bull/Battery/etc. energy drinks boost you for a while, but after it goes off, usually the man goes off too. The downer effect is bad IMO.
Same goes for food, yeah it gives energy after you have digested it... But you may risk it to eat bit too much at the time and falling off therefore (...been there done that...)
And ciggies... Well, running to grab a cig every <30mins can give you some refreshment because you get some fresh air (if you smoke it outside) there too in addition to nicotine and all other "it's bad 4 u" incredients
Hmmm... So where does this pondering take me? I have no ways nor methods to stay awake but to keep my eyes open and to not get bored. Hard one? Aye... Like my mates have told me my characters have been caught many times checking out the forests woods while exping in daoc late night time (and in the morning "QWERTY" is printed in my forehead heh)
2cents from me!
