Awww.. I'm sorry this has had to happen to you.. It happens to me too, sometimes.. Ask your boyfriend that same question-sleep and miss some of school, or no sleep and not be able to do any work anyway?
Maybe talking to your doctor about this could help, but then again, it might be that you need to give these meds a bit more time to reduce with the effect. I think talking to your doctor about it could help
Take care and I hope it starts to ease off soon
