Autistic 5yo with sleep difficulties

Hi I would greatly appreciate assistance on determining the correct potency of chamomilla to give my daughter who continually wakes in the night and refuses to go back to sleep after approx 5 hours of sleep. Have tried Tissue salts 5 of the(Phos')with success to calm and put her to bed, however they do not hold. Have tonight tried Chamomilla 6c also not sure whether 30c would be abetter starting point? How can I tell which potency is best.
