I often have the same problem, and sometimes it helps to first find some way to get myself just as tired as possible beforehand.
Clonidine is a complete harmless and inexpensive medication I take for hypertension, and I sometimes take an extra one at bedtime because it can cause drowsiness ... and I do know some doctors prescribe it for that specific purpose.
