What a coincidence. Just read an article about this today. Sleep experts feel that insomnia is more likely associated with stress, poor nutrition and other external factors rather than hormonal. that being said, I have seen minor hormonal variations cause this problem as well. You need to get your thyroid checked out. If your thyroid is normal and your cycles are normal, it's not hormonal.

Hope this helps.
