Maybe the upcoming astral configuration is also influencing the erratic energy patterns:
Mars in Aries is most powerful, and in Chinese medicine it represents the heart. One can't sleep when the heart is too full of blood/energy , the same goes when the heart has no sufficient blood supply.
Mars is in the process of forming the conjunction with Uranus - this combination is like a most powerful, but erratic burst of energy. Unexpected upheaval of energies, sudden accidents - to the head,caused by fire and iron objects
To add some more gas to the flames, this configuration is augmented by
Jupiter opposing it. Jupiter is retrograde, so the energy coming from it is also affected in the sense of opposing growth, development, smooth running of blood in the system, etc.
And the
Moon is in the dark period, prior to new moon, so it is asking for retreat, attending for what you already have, meditation, regeneration. So no action directed towards the exterior is favored.

Mars Conjunct Uranus February 2017
Mars conjunct Uranus at 22°00′ Aries aligns with fixed star Baten Kaitos at 22°11′ Aries, and is opposite Jupiter retrograde. Mars opposite Jupiter and Jupiter opposite Uranus make risk taking even more dangerous. Baten Kaitos also brings danger of accidents.
And there is a fixed star conjunction adding up too:

Baten Kaitos Star Astrology
Fixed star Baten Kaitos in astrology portended falls and blows. [1]
It gives compulsory transportation, change or emigration, misfortune by force or accident, shipwreck but also rescue, falls and blows. [2]
Baten Kaitos in The Whale has the character of Saturn. The Saturnine properties, such as inhibition, reserve, caution, solitude, and simplicity often are forced onto such people either by a mundane power or a higher power. Sometimes ideas are propagated which make life for the native trying or troublesome for the native. To such persons, their fate is usually one of change. People influenced thus tend to depression or dwell on the thought of death. Life often is full of humiliation, renunciation and obstacles. But the position of the complete chart is always important. [3]
Baten Kaitos, Belly of the Whale, is of course associated with the Jonah legend. Likewise a Saturn star by Ptolemy, it often does mark where someone becomes stuck with a situation for some little while, perhaps from their folly under Deneb Kaitos (Beta Ceti), but, aspects all being well, should emerge with some benefit to count for the experience, even honor from it if all is very well in the matter of aspects. [4]
Baten Kaitos is a warlike star that portends falls and blows and other misfortune brought about by force. [5]
Baten Kaitos rules the center point of the head in the human body. [6]
Constellation Cetus is like Saturn. It is said to cause laziness and idleness, but to confer an emotional and charitable nature, with the ability to command, especially in war. Makes one amiable, prudent, happy by sea and land, and helps to recover lost goods. [2]
I'm not saying that this is the major cause for what we experience. However, it can have a cumulative effect.
All these aspects can manifest differently for people, and experienced differently - according to their awareness, but being all together now it's a bit too much.
Better to watch out for accidents and act in a preventive manner until we pass the first few days of March.
FWIW
One was a post I worked on here on the forum, but didn't hit 'save draft' in time so lost the writing. The other was a job application I was trying to complete.
