Poor sleep the night before menstruation—leading to insomnia—may be caused by premenstrual tension. This phenomenon is often normal and typically does not require specific treatment. However, if additional symptoms such as headache or general bodily discomfort occur, pharmacological treatment may be considered. Primarily, it is important to avoid emotional stress, maintain healthy dietary habits, and prevent overeating or binge eating. For insomnia, soaking the feet in warm water may also help.
