What's the best way to recover from sleep deprivation? I'm a 28 y/o guy and I've had three consecutive nights of 5 to 5 1/2 hours sleep (not by my choosing -- busy period at work). Naturally, I'm exhausted by now. [more inside]

Recently, I've had to pull several all-nighters to finish papers, etc. Not only do I feel awful the next day, but it generally puts me partially out of commission for the day after too. Is there anything I can do during the time I'm working to help prevent/counter some of the effects of sleep deprivation?
