How to help 5 yr old DD fall asleep

I have 2 Dd's. They share a bedroom and at night they have a story, youngest who is 3 has a bottle of warm milk and 5 yr old has a very small glass of milk. My youngest falls asleep no bother, she just rolls over and is out like a lamp. My eldest really struggles to rest and get off to sleep. I'm dreading every night at the moment and I expect she is too. She has her story and milk, a cuddle and a kiss and then tosses and turns constantly, flinging her covers on and off, asking a million qs etc I've no doubt she's actually tired (bedtime is 7:30/8pm) but she is so restless. Can anyone recommend something to help her settle? She's always resisted falling asleep and it can take her over an hour sone nights. Once she's asleep she's out for the night and sleeps really well

Well done op that's great.

I think the different bedtimes will be the way forward.
