Tips for pulling an all nighter?

Unfortunately not a sexy all nighter (that would be much easier).
I've got a list as long as my arm to sort and its doing my nut in!
So I'm aiming to have a productive night tonight. I'm looking for tried and tested tips for helping me stay awake, if any?
Failing that, who wants a job l? I'll pay you in tea and kindness  |

Maybe split your tasks up and work in shorter bursts, take a little break now and again to refresh yourself.
Or set a few little goals, like only allowing yourself that snack or coffee after you get a certain task done.

I would take you up on the offer to help but it's Bank Holiday weekend and my rates are extortionate |

"Think about all the excruciatingly embarrassing things you’ve ever done. You’re never sleeping after that. "
I mean there's enough material to keep me awake for a month, you could be onto something here |

I don't know what all the tasks are but caffeine does have a detrimental effect on your ability to think clearly. So if it's knowledge work I'd be wary of the various caffeine related options.
In the past I've found activity every so often, keeping hydrated (I like fruit juice for this) and showers (realistically one shower in the middle) be helpful.
The shower is actually something I heard from a doctor and was apparently common practice to help stay awake and alert on super long shifts. It supposedly works by getting the blood to flow as your body tries to regulate temperature. I presume activity has that as a component too. |

Amphetamines is the correct answer.
