Parents who suspect that their child might be suffering from a sleep disorder are encouraged to consult with their childs pediatrician or a sleep specialist.

When I was incredibly restless,I used to take methylphenidate at night to get me off to sleep; when I awoke a few hours later, another small dose sent me back to sleep. Replacing caffeinated drinks with decaf coffee, tea etc, did not help.
