Yes, I too sometimes have very restless sleep.  Once a month I find myself taking a sleeping pill, which allows me to sleep.  Usually the day after the pill is also very affective.  But I am also a bit weary and careful with taking sleeping pills, not ever wanting to take on a regular basis.  I have also found that a nice cup of tea makes me often ease into sleep.  Since the weather is warmer, I often take an evening bike ride, after which a shower.  Both tend to aide in a good night's sleep.
