Try taking g prednisone 3 hours before you need to get up. When you wake it will have kicked in- by about 15 minutes after you start moving around.
It will hold all day.

I see other people have suggested this too, and it seems to work for some. A meal or at least a snack needs to be taken with the prednisone to protect the stomach lining, and a few people mentioned that they set up a snack or piece of cheese at the bedside to take with it. Whatever works and does no harm, good!
