When a complete sentence is bracketed, the period goes inside. When the bracketed bit is an apposition, the period goes outside. If that's confusing, choose one style, and stick to it. There are no fixed rules for brackets and periods, only regional variations in usage.

Interesting point re regional variations.
In the UK sentences have full stops and women have periods.
