Sex Advice: I can’t sleep unless I’ve had an orgasm

At certain times during my cycle I can’t sleep without having an orgasm. If I do nod off I then wake up in the middle of the night feeling really, almost unbearably aroused. I don’t want to masturbate with my husband next to me, but I don’t always feel like having sex. Is this normal?

Female hormones fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle and this has an impact on levels of desire.
