Good luck with it. I did a lot of cleaning at 3am. I usually got 3 hours or less a night of sleep while on Pred.
its steroid side effect n will vanish after u completely stop it.
Hello
I was on steroids (pred) for 3 months and can really sympathise with you about sleeplessness. I was in a strange manic world on pred. I got a lot done but it wasn't my normal behaviour. It's strange because, after a period in hospital, you feel as if you should be resting but you can't. I have been off the steroids for nearly six weeks and my sleep pattern has returned to normal. This happened pretty much straight away.
Best of luck with everything
