Lupin is described as looking ill and tired a lot.  My impression was 
that his health suffers from his poverty (which in turn is due to 
werewolf-discrimination).  Before coming to Hogwarts, he was probably 
living no better than a vagrant, and that's a pretty exhausting life-
style that teaches you to nap wherever you can.  When Lupin shows up 
for the first DADA class, he's described as looking "healthier than 
he had on the train, as though he'd had a few square meals."

I just think you might be reading too much into it trying to 
establish a werewolf transformation the night before.  He's probably 
exhausted for days after those, anyway.
