First of all, bengals are quite vocal and they are perpetual 2 year old toddlers. Females will yowl when they are in heat -- trying to lure a male for mating. Getting her fixed will solve the heat cycles. That being said, some bengals sleep through the night (I have one of them). Other bengals are nocturnal and want to be up and doing things all night. Having a bengal is just like having a child. They are active, get into things, do not like to be told "no", etc. And getting little sleep with a young'un is part of the deal. See how she does once you get her fixed. If she still is wound up during the night, then you're going to have to play with her and wear her out so she does sleep. You should be engaging her in play time every day. Bengals are very social, they crave attention, they love human interaction. They are not your typical cat.
Walking your cat is a great idea and it's wonderful exercise for your kitty, but if yours is like mine, there may not be a lot of walking -- just sniffing bushes, so actual play time is a necessity. You may need earplugs or white noise to drown out the cries, but hopefully, if you get her worn out from playing before bedtime, she will settle down and sleep through the night.
