My grades are suffering in college right now. I want to take out a sabbatical so I can rest a year and "recharge my batteries", as quoted by my academic advisor. I'm having a huge level of difficulty trying to stay focused on my assignments, and medicine isn't helping. A year off would give me time to try and reduce my stress levels.

My parents, on the other hand, want me to continue to next year because if I wait a year, my parents' income will rise and I'll be forced to take out a larger student loan. Bigger loan = more to pay back. And I can't argue with that logic because our financial situation is sensitive enough as it is!

So, I have to choose between reducing my stress or reducing my debt. What should I do?

Hmmm.... Maybe you should (if you haven't already done it) try to ask your teacher, to see what they think you should do.
