Looking for sleep aids (natural or other) that have helped others?

I have had insomnia on and off through out my life. I have really bad anxiety and am currently being treated with Pristiq daily and also Klonopin as needed for the anxiety. However, I do not want to use the Klonopin to induce sleep as I do not want to become dependent on a benzo. My psych dr. prescribed Restoril (which is another benzo) to try to help but it made me so restless I got no sleep at all. Would prefer a natural sleep aid but need something. Also, need something that I can wake up and tend to my 13 month old who does not sleep through the night yet and then easily go back to sleep. Any ideas or experiences?
