I would not overbalance him with formal, "book" education; it sounds like he is lacking in much social interaction and the important education that goes with learning self-control so he does not act out and can learn to entertain himself when bored. We all have to stand in queues for a good part of our lives; behaving well in them is an important part of one's education!

I would look into neighborhood library programs, let someone else read to him if you are falling asleep but it concerns me that you are trying to do too much, whether through necessity or choice; your health is very important and if you are having difficulty, I would cut back on some of your activities if able. Start him writing his own stories and doing art work and other activities that require personal concentration and care and time :-) but not much in materials or money or added effort on your part.
