Do you know what works like a charm for me? A few minute ice-cold shower. That, and a totally blacked out room during the night, not a single photon from charging cables, laptops, or half-closed curtains. But the shower is the trick. On some nights if I just can't fall asleep I'll go take one. It's a bit counterintuitive because you'd think that it would jolt you awake, but something about getting into a warm bed afterwards just brings on the sleepy vibes. My $0.02. YMMV. Edit to add: the first time I took these showers my breath became very shallow because it's just so cold! The trick, as The Iceman Wim Hof would tell you, is deep breathing.
