Hey Temmie,
I don't know the answer to most of your questions. Obviously you have a complex situation.
Do you have a pdoc overseeing your meds? Has he given you a diagnosis? You really need to ask him your dosing questions.
I take Neurontin, but not for sleep. I take it for restless legs (and it works well). Very occasionally I have to take 2 (which my pdoc said was OK).
Caffeine is a stimulant. Alcohol is a depressant. Your meds are mostly sleep inducing. Maybe cutting out the caffeine (or only having it first thing in the morning, or just regular coffee) would help. I always get nervous when people are taking meds and drinking...
Gee, maybe I'll try Espresso, I could use some energy 8^)
Enjoy your kids at school!
