Default Tricks to combat performance anxiety?

My boyfriend has been under a lot of stress recently. He's going to school during the day, and working 3rd shift at a hospital from 11pm to 7am at night. He doesn't sleep a lot, and making rent every month is tough. He's also recently developed a severe intolerance to alcohol. (He breaks out into hives when he drinks)

This has started to seep into the bedroom, when he can't get it up. He's only 23 years old, and I know this is weighing heavily on his already troubled mind. We've been together for five years, sexually active for three of them. (I'll be 20 this month, if it's relevant)

I like sex a lot, and until a few weeks ago it was always fantastic. But now I feel less inclined to suggest that we have sex, in case that it doesn't work again. I hate seeing his face when he thinks he's disappointed me. But I go back to school in the fall, and I wont get to see him everyday like I do now. So I want to take advantage of this time, for my personal reasons.

Are there any tricks to getting his mind off of all of this stress? We both know what the problem is! But its been going on too long, and wont change any time soon. I want to go back to carefree sex!
