Here are some tips when caffeine starts to either not work or, well, make you want to vomit rats:

Bright Light. I've got a 300 watt halogen going in a 12 x 10 room and its having a noticable effect on my consciousness
Loud Music. Hopefully my neighbors appreciate a Beastie Boys / Quiet Riot / Def Leopard / Dead Milkmen combination.
Cold. I've got the window open and its chilly in here! It works though.
