Your cortisol level maybe be high due to stress and “People with high salivary night cortisol levels are usually complaining of sleep problems.” page 150 of What you doctor may not tell you about menopause
Insomnia is one of the symptoms on Miriam Brazel's list. Have a look on Miriam Brazel's page and you may find other symptoms. This is the link to my web page regarding hormone tests
http://uk.geocities.com/willim_walker@bt... and Miriam Brazel's page
1 do an on line hormone test http://www.johnleemd.com/store/resource_...
2 do an appropriate saliva test and obtain results
3 get results & discuss with a NPIS doctor or educate your GP/MD
search the web for “natural progesterone insomnia” and you will come across pages such as this

Once your hormones are in balance your sleep will be restored – The progesterone will compete with the cortisol for the same receptors so reducing the cortisol effect.
Many others have had insomnia and cured it by using natural progesterone. I hope you are cured by which ever route you take be it progesterone or melatonin.
Hypnotherapy is a wonderful way to relax, reduce stress and to get better quality sleep with no side effects.
You can visit a Hypnotherapist for a one to one session or get a self help CD (or download)
The benefits can be amazing.
Good luck.
