Having trouble sleeping before your period can be caused because of cramps, bloating, headaches and much more. Your body temperature may rise which can disturb your sleep, as you begin to fall asleep when your body temperature cools.

I have trouble because my body feels bloated, as it starts retaining salts and water. Makes me feel like a bloated sponge that needs to be wrung. Usually some cardio and sitting in the wet sauna for awhile will bring some relief, as well as eating healthy foods and staying hydrated. Lemon water feels good to my body at that time ... well, really, all the time.

Your period makes your progesterone drops, and because you're used to having this sleepy hormone it is hard to sleep without it.
