I find myslef constantly falling asleep on my hw. I can stay up late but homework is so mind numbing that i just pass out.
Any ideas on how to stay awake?

Take more frequent breaks. Easier to retain more this way as well. Keep your mind fresh rather than going an hour or two straight.

Redbull gives you wiiiings!
Seriously though, I have the same problem. I always made flashcards or had a friend/parent quiz me. Or I say to myself, "ok, if you finish these 20 pages of reading, you get a 20 minute break". Its easier if you set goals for your self and plan the breaks.
Are you studying, reading, doing problems?

physical activety(10 to 20 pushups, some jumpin jacks, run a flight of stairs), fresh fruits n veggies and of course some coffee... proper lighting helps... if you are tired before you start then dont bother... take a qwik 15 min "nap" before you start...

breathing exercises, frequent breaks 2 stretch & eat power snacks...i agree with all... except the power-nap thing. 4some reason that just doesn't work 4me. if i go 2sleep it's gotta be 5hours straight minimum or i'm a groggy mess.

if you rest until youre almost in REM then youre gonna be groggy... if you lie down for 15 min and get a solid rest to the point that your still conscience then you will feel like you just want to keep sleeping but if you get up immediately youre gonna get a rush!!!
