Hello ans welcome.
I wouldn't call this insomnia, as you mentioned she does sleep during the day time. So this would just be an upset sleep cycle, most probably due to the medications and environment. As long as she gets her sleep there is nothing serious to worry about, let us wait till she returns home to help her readjust to the day-night cycle.
Best wishes.
