Generally Lumateperone does not cause insomnia. Rather it causes sedation. Insomnia might be due to some other factor such as any other medication.
Next Steps
Consult a doctor and get all your medications reviewed

Hi sir.
Initial few days could be difficult with Lumateperone. Though most people experience sedation than insomnia, it is possible to have this as well. You can switch to morning dose or take it early.
If the issue persists beyond a week, schedule a consult at the earliest but dont stop the medications on your own.
Thank you.
