It's a symptom that some girls have, remember your hormones are running crazy. No need to worry but you can try go to your doctor and tell him/her to give you something to help you :) Keep strong

Honestly as a female myself, I don't know. Probably because of the changes your body goes through to produce the lovely period for us. Or any pre-symptoms we experience such as cramps and moodiness :P If you know your period is coming up, could also be anxiety or stress about it.

Sometimes your hormones will cause you to stay awake at night. You might be stressed or worried about something and your hormones are enhancing the stress

There are several reasons that you can have trouble sleeping before your period. The most common reason in my opinion is being uncomfortable/in pain. A few things I recommend are using a heating pad on your lower back to relieve some of your cramps and do drink lots of water during the day. This will help with circulation. Sometimes adding a pillow under your knees helps as well.

Most probably it's hormones: the days before our period there are lots of hormones rushing through our bodies, and most of us react differently to them. For me, for instance, it is irritability and symptoms of depressions; for others it is unrelenting sadness... for you it is probably insomnia, among others. Remind yourself that it'll be gone in a couple of days, and do some relaxation and/or mindfulness exercises to see if sleep comes easier this way!

The body's response to the ovulation process and the menstrual cycle can differ from person to person. Sometimes for me I would be more emotionally sensitive so I will be up late thinking about things or my body could be aching in response to my hormone changes.

Well, for me personally its because I have back aches and stuff. So then its just uncomfortable to go to sleep while on my period. Plus having a wet pad doesn't help:)
