I would suggest making sure that you emphasize with the students that they need to drink plenty of water/re hydrating liquids and to get sleep no matter what. I know the common thing is "lets have six weeks of no sleep" but that could be a greater disservice then some think. I know I think clearer when I have a good nights rest. Try to hold down late nights to only a few; during those late nights, if not much forward progress is being made, send everyone home to come back fresh. Also, have a good general plan and project matrix set out to know if those late nights are actually needed when they occur. FRC is a great tool to show/use project management. It would be a good idea to have an excel sheet set up to be a project matrix to have due dates set out and to keep track of it while you build. This way you can avoid unneeded late nights.
