“Do homeopathic therapies work for insomnia?”
I feel like I have insomnia, and I stay up all night in my dorm and it's starting to affect my school work. Are there any homeopathic therapies that help?

Not so much. But if you write down all the things you are thinking about, that way you won’t forget them. Because when you keep yourself thinking about things when you should be resting and sleeping, you can restfully sleep.

Serotonin and melatonin levels need to be balanced, which is attributed to nutrition, supplemental and mineral imbalances. Please consult your healthcare provide for an evaluation to determine your levels. I have also recommended CBD in the evening to support relaxation.
First things first, check your caffeine intake... Sodas, Tea, Coffee... limiting of your intake may be all that is required. Furthermore... Melatonin is a hormone secreted in response to darkness. Its sleep-promoting actions are mostly caused by its feedback from the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN; the master clock) which is receiving direct input from your eyes about the amount of light exposure... shut off your phone, computer, lights, while creating for yourself a nighttime ritual of relaxation and quietness.
