Does run up to AF affect your sleep pattern ?

[oldbirdni]

I'm convinced that my insomnia for past 6 days is down to AF ? She appeared yesterday, first one since surgery and metho shots , could that be the reason, I'm exhausted but can't sleep at night ? Anyone else get this problem in run up to old witch ?

Me! And it sucks. It's totally hormonal.
So when I PMS, not only am I irritable, but I can't sleep. It makes for a great combination, lol.
Usually, the day the witch arrives, I'm feeling better. She's actually a relief!

Hope you get some rest tonight.

Yep I suffer with this - I think it's partly to do with your temperature going up in the run up to AF.

Progesterone levels affect your sleep- right before AF, your levels are very low....
I experience the same thing & it's terrible! However, right around ovulation & for a few days after I sleep like log.....

Yeah, I am the same, just before, during and after O I sleep like a log, but fefore AF I get none.

I nteresting about the Progesternone, hormones... aren´t they awful! Men should get half of what we get! they are so lucky!

Not only do I get the insomnia..I have such vivid horrible nightmares right before AF and have been told melatonin will help along with or instead of valerian.
