Since taking prednisone from April this year I have been waking in the early hours .

I am managing on 5/6 hours sleep but am concerned and fed up of whiling away the time once I wake up. On 9mg a day and take 5 with breakfast and 4 with evening meal . Any thoughts please?

    Hello Frit:  I could not sleep at all when I was on a 15-20 dose and with 5mg  in the afternoon. Dr. prescribed Lunesta which was the only way I could get any sleep. After about 2 months I no longer needed the afternoon dose  and take it only in the early  am. Sleep has improved. 

    ​Good luck.
