I have new meds and one of the side effects is that I can't stay awake all day. Right now I take a 45-minute nap after lunch (or sometimes in the late afternoon if I have other commitments after lunch, but then around tea-time I'm beat, fall asleep sitting up every few minutes and really have to have a nap) and that gets me through the day, but school starts again in a week.. which means I have to get up earlier (depending on my scheduled lessons, so not sure how early yet) and have to stay awake all day at school. And pay attention, of course. How on earth am I going to manage that?

I don't want to quit the meds because they're very promising. I go to bed fairly early in the evening (around 20:30) so going to bed even earlier isn't really a solution either. Caffeine doesn't really help either.
