Yes, but I'm not sure it has a name, this sounds like regular old insomnia to me. Also, this is common to Mom's. If you are not breastfeeding, it's OK to take stuff if you need it, and it is important for you to get sleep so you operate safely during the day. If it's monthly, it could be related to hormonal swings, I actually have something like this that goes on about monthly at certain times of the year. Things to try: St. Johns Wort, an herb, can get at the health food store, seriously helps with mood swings and other hormonal issues, just mellows you out, very mild, not a sedative. Even just the tea is very effective for me. Also kava helps me sleep, I buy it in liquid extract form at health food stores and use 10-20 drops in a small amount of water before bed. Years ago I used Unisom - which has the same active ingredient as all the other over the counter non-pain-relief sleep aids. I've also tried melatonin - worked great but I didn't trust it to not have effects on my hormones - and all the pm pain releivers, which have a different active ingredient than the non pain relief sleep aids, the Tylenon/Excedrin PM type things always left me really groggy, even if I took only 1/2 of one and I don't like the way they make my arms and legs tingle while I'm falling asleep. Hot baths/showers before bed, a very calm and relaxing hour before bed and the good old hot milk (I usually add a little vanilla) also help. You are not alone, best wishes and good luck.

just listen what this doc has to say...
"Insomnia is one of the most common complaints brought to a physician's office practice. Approximately 60 million adults experience occasional insomnia and about 10-20% experience it chronically..." Dr. Gregg D. Jacobs

Your mind won't relax and quit working. You plan the next week's activities, all the trips you are going to take when you get rich, etc. That will cause occasional insomnia.

Preoccupation with when the French footballers will run out of luck to the Italians....

No, seriously- you shouldn't drink caffeine, eat, or consume nicotine at least 2 hours before trying to go to sleep, and you shouldn't exercise at least 3 hours prior to bedtime. Try that and see if it doesn't clear up the problem.

Smoking or drinking coffee before going to bed, that does it for me every time.
