You could try eating a low carb/low glycemic index dinner. Your body's insulin level spiking after you eat can lead to you feeling more sleepy and foggy-headed.

You might try Gyokuro green tea, or maybe Matcha. It's got a different mix of caffeine and L-theanine, and might keep you up less. It still messes with my sleep, though.

Don't underestimate the value of drinking enough fluids in general. Being well hydrated can make a big difference in wakefulness and concentration.
