I know the feeling. The mulled wine with some herbs like a cinnamon stick (you can find recipes online) seems to work wonders. Don't drink wine without mulling it though - that does not help sleep.

Hot mulled wine can also be used as an herbal sleep aid, when the correct herbs are used. Warmed wine added to a stick of cinnamon, several cloves, and a teaspoon of woodruff will ease a racing mind and help induce sleep. English herbalist Gerard once infamously stated that pouring wine into woodruff would “make men merry.”
