Staying awake on watch

On Australia’s East Coast, many cruising yachts now are on their way South after “wintering” in North Queensland. Many will decide to bypass NSW ports and make a 3 or 4 day passage direct to their home port.
When night sailing, sleep deprivation can be a safety issue unless managed thoughtfully . I liked this article from gCaptain, which provides some useful information on the way we sleep and some interesting hints to manage micro-sleeps.
How do _you_ stay awake?
