High dose steroids would wear off into the evening and night.
Cortisol is after all a fluctuating hormone with highs and lows in 12 hr cycles, with the lowest at 4am or so.

High dose steroids also raise blood sugars, and when those drop, it would be a big LOW blood sugar and give symptoms of that.
This could be a problem for those with impaired glucose utilization to begin with. It is something to consider.

I didn't have any of those issues, however.
