Why do I have trouble sleeping before my period?

A lot of hormonal changes occur every month when you have [or sometimes not have] your period. Feelings of unease, restlessness, nausea, headaches, backaches, etc are symptoms that often accompany periods. However, you shouldn't worry too much about it--it's only natural for something like that to happen when you are shedding all that blood in such a short amount of time! But if your problem persists and is hampering your everyday activities too much, you can visit your gynecologist or general physician to talk about the sleeplessness and maybe get some medicines prescribed.

Hormones!! Your hormones are changing like crazy around your menstrual cycle. Sometimes making it difficult to sleep

Scientifically speaking,it happens to a lot of women. So you're not the only one. It is believed to happen because of a sudden rush of hormones. You can avoid alcohol,try exercise and meditation to improve your sleep.

perhaps your hormone level influences your sleep, or you are feeling stressed. It's also possible that in this period there are some thoughts that persist and don't allow you to fall asleep.

I do not know so cannot give you an answer, however you are the expert on you. I am here to listen and to offer support :)

Hormonal changes, cramping, emotional changes -- all very normal and rational, and nothing that you should be fearful or ashamed of!

mood is elevated when almost in period, satisfy yourself and give in to your pre-menstrual cravings.

its a biological problem. mostly girls suffer too much pain before their periods and so i do. pain and mood swings upset you and you wont be able to sleep properly.

As you go through the cycle your metabolism can change a little - if not the pain of the muscle movements themselves. It could be that you are too warm or too cold, possibly feeling a bit more anxious, or just a little bit more uncomfortable than usual.

Hormones! Your body is preparing for potential pregnancy, so it's sending signals all over which, understandably, can keep a person awake.
