Sleepiness
Bean is having trouble falling asleep in school again. His classroom, by its nature, doesn't sit very much. But the minute they do, the teacher(s) tell me he's fast asleep in just moments. When I ask Bean about this he says he doesn't remember falling asleep or vehemently protests and says he wasn't sleeping.

Meds is a potential culprit; but, during the times when he's home and doesn't have school, he doesn't follow this pattern (like Fridays when I'm home with him).

Any of you who suffer from BiPolar have similiar problems, where sleepiness is an issue in certain situations, etc.  His school is far from boring. He loves it, in fact. Which considering the long history of hating school, this is huge. So, I'm trying to help nip this new situation as quickly as possible, find its culprit and mitigate for it.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Oh, btw, his current meds are (and I've starred those he gets before class and X'd those he gets mid day at school):

Trileptal 2 x a day *x
Risperadone 2x a day *x
Clonidine 3 x a day *x
Wellbutrin 1 x a day
Seroquel 1 x a day
