BCP's and Insomnia / sleep probs

Has anyone else here ever had problems with insomnia while taking BCPs?

I ask because I have been having difficulties getting a full nights sleep, and it is usually worse during the 3 weeks I am on the BCPs each month. When I was off of them for a week and a half I was sleeping better and sleeping longer. Now that I have been back on them for 4 days, my sleep has been severely interrupted again and I usually find that I have a hard time falling asleep, once I do I can't sleep for more than 3 or 4 hours before waking up. It is very hard, if not impossible, for me to go back to sleep when this happens. I really hate taking sleep aides because I always wake up feeling drugged out (even on those that claim they will not do that.) and they are still not always effective. They may help me fall asleep faster, but have very little effect on the length of time that I am able to sleep.

This is getting very frustrating... and more than just a little exhausting. Any insight would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Dawn
