Summer classes can really help the load. Even if the school does not offer it you can generally self study a math class.

Another option is to accept a lower grade in a class. Ex: If getting a C on a project saves you 80 hours of work it can be worth it.

PS: Giving up sleep is false savings over time.

Not that I'd recommend going as far as I did, but this was my college motto. 20% of the work for 80% of the grade, then move on to homework for the next class.
