Lol, since I have been on prednisone i can’t seem to shut down during the day, the lack of body pain has increased my energy levels and motivation to levels that I have not felt in years. Napping during the day was what I used to do, not now. As far as sleeping at night I don’t seem to need as much as I did before and wake up much more refreshed and alert than I did before. Not sure how much age plays a role in all this but I am 74.

A bigger role might be played by the dosage you're on. When I first started on prednisolone I was full of beans and got a lot of yard work done. As the dosage decreased, the energy reduced. What dose are you on and when do you take it?
