Anoche no pude dormir tambien. Espero para más esta noche.
Utiliza "tampoco" en vez de "también" en frases negativas como ésta.

Tampoco is like a negative too or aswell. It's can be more succinct than any English expression - Have you beer? No. Have you wine? Tampoco - afowen, Jan 21, 2011
In short, it translates to "either" in this context. - Deanski, Jan 21, 2011
Yes, double negatives are required. 'I didn't sleep either', instead of 'also'. - KevinB, Jan 21, 2011
Yes, double negative. Makes sense. Thanks. - Leeh, Jan 21, 2011

I would use preterite instead of present tense when talking about last night. Anoche no pude dormir.
