I have just started on prednisolone for a week. Is this normal to be awake at 3.30 am 😴 what do others do to combat this. I am going to be one cranky Mumma tomorrow. I am no where near tired. I have never been like this before. My body is exhausted but my brain wants to party all night.

Really common. Are you taking your dose in the morning? Then the amount in your body is at its lowest by nighttime. That’s my only advice sorry
Thank you
Yes, it’s very common. Definitely take it in the morning if you can and I usually take melatonin, when on prednisolone.
It allows me to get some sleep.
I also find I gain a bunch of weight. It helps to have high protein snacks on hand
Thank you
Yep the pred is steroids. Take it early in the morning, like wake up early to take it. You’ll perk up again as soon as you take it and it’ll wear off again, that’ll happen each day.
Thank you
