Hi Margi,
Hang in there. Yes, sleeping difficulty, nausea are both side effects of Prednisone. Also, irritability can be a side effect too. You might talk to your transplant team and see if there may be some things that you can do to help minimize the side effects.

Hang in there, stay positive and know that we're here rooting ya on !!
