Pretty much in the same boat... I take 80mg in the mornings, and after that I'm wide awake till the afternoon. I think I've slept around 5 hours per night. I often take some melatonin if I don't feel sleepy, then I sleep for like two hours. Take a snack and if its still long till morning and I don't feel sleepy I'll take some temazepan and maybe sleep another 2-3 hours.
For some reason I don't feel as crazy as I did last year when I was on high pred. I could even read a book and I think I understood what I read, while I had a lot tougher time to focus on anything last time I was taking 80mg. Maybe the 1000mg I took for 3 days at the hospital makes my body think that 80 isn't so bad at all.
BTW, I usally look at the jokes on 9GAG - Why So Serious? when I can't sleep. A little laughter never hurts Although I might end up spending more time there than I intended..
