Signs of dizziness and unsteadiness?

I woke up in the middle of the night, turned to look at my alarm clock, and the whole room started spinning. This happened multiple times over the course of the night, and I woke up in the morning feeling the same way. I was able to walk over to my mom for help, but I feel very unbalanced, unstable, unsteady, and lightheaded. I took a Dramamine which actually eased the spinning. It is a very discomforting feeling. I have no fever or any signs of nausea. I am a sophomore in high school, I am very athletic, I am missing soccer tryouts today, I am rarely ever sick, may someone please tell give me any ideas on what is going on/what I should do? Are these signs of vertigo?
