Arrgghh. Pre-menstrual insomnia.

[chipped]

It's ridiculous. I am no stranger to sleep deprivation but this is somehow worse as no one is keeping me awake but my body! I am hot and sweaty and was awake last night between 12-5.45am. Tonight is heading the same way. It will be the same Sunday night then period should arrive and it'll be back to normal sleep again.

I believe it is hormone related but can I do anything about it?

Hi, I'm awake for the same reason and it's crap. Always get really hot and sweaty for few days before period and a bit loopy, it's like my skin feels room temperature but just inside it it's boiling hot. Insomnia a regular thing anyway but so much worse now.

Sorry, that's not helpful at all really! I wish I had a solution for you.

No period but back to normal last night, phew. Yes, I've been so hot day and night this weekend.

I'm considering going on the pill (which I stopped using years ago) to see if it levels things out as I've heard. Do you take the pill?

Hi I have the same problem premenstrually, however, since having the mirena coil fitted all that stopped and I felt tine. Just had coil removed as was planning another pregnancy and the hot nights and insomnia/dizziness returned - its funny I had forgotten how bad it all gets before a proper period!
