Brief Answer:
Try following the guidelines.

Detailed Answer:
Dear friend. I am sorry you have not mentioned your age. If your insomnia happens only during February, then it cannot be due to your hormonal imbalance.

The following are some of the medical conditions that can cause INSOMNIA :
Nasal/sinus allergies.
Gastrointestinal problems such as acid reflex.
Endocrine problems such as hyperthyroidism.
Arthritis.
Asthma.
Neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease.
Chronic pain.
Low back pain.
Other than these, stress, anxiety, depression, obsession, lack of exercises etc can also cause insomnia.

Please go through the above carefully. Let me know whether you have any of the conditions. Also look into your general stress level and lack of exercise etc.

There is another condition which may suit your present condition. Seasonal depression. Seasonal Affective Disorder.

So, given the vastness of the conditions you may have, you need to have detailed investigations.

For the time being, as you have said, you just want to address your insomnia, I can provide some guidelines.

1. Do you really have insomnia? Assess yourself. A healthy active person should sleep for around 6 hours a day. Even though sleep is interrupted, 6 hours sleep is enough. If you are not active enough, the sleep may reduce to around 5 hours or so. If you are stressed or anxious, the sleep pattern may be disruptive. But overall you should get 5 to 6 hours of sleep altogether. Moreover your body knows your sleep pattern. If your body lacks sleep for more than 48 hours, your body knows how to get it. Therefore,

2. Never worry about insomnia. The more you worry, the more you become stressed ad anxious and thereby hindering your sleep process.

3. If you don't get sleep, instead of laying and worrying, start reading a book or listen to music. Again do not worry about the sleep.

4. Always tell yourself "I am not getting sleep now. No worry. I will sleep soon".

5. Along with music or book reading, start deep shallow rhythmic breathing through nostrils.

6. Avoid meal before 4 hours of retiring to bed.

7. Do not drink any caffeinated drinks or coffee 2 hours before bed. Instead milk or warm water help relax muscles and mind.

8. Exercise is very much essential for relaxed sleep. Get at least 45 minutes daily exercise.

9. Alcohol and tobacco hinders with your sleep process. Avoid them.

10. Try to get up and retire at the same time of the day. This helps your body circadian rhythm.

Let me know if you need any more guidance.
Take care
