trouble sleeping?

Question

My 6mo old daughter has always been hard to get to go to sleep at night or even take a nap. she usually tosses her head back and forth or rubs her eyes to prevent herself from sleeping even if she's tired. but lately she's been hitting herself in the head in order to hold sleep at bay. i have to hold her hands down to get her to sleep. i've been told its pretty normal by my inlaws and a few friends, just wondering if it really is normal?
