What knocks you out and helps you go to sleep? Maybe I will try alcohol.
A warm shower or bath is probably easier.

Drunken sleep disturbs REM sleep. It’s unnatural. Maybe music can help you fall asleep, or even watching TV until you doze off?

I have some kettlebells, working out 2 days in a row turns of the lights for a couple of days.
Reading usually does.
I have a prn for sleep but I rarely take it because then I sleep all next day. I listen to an audiobook or sometimes just nature sounds. If I’m not at all tired I don’t attempt to go to sleep or I just get frustrated. Also I sometimes put on a boring show and then I nod off.
Booze will just make you get up and piss half the night on the toilet - and you wont get any REM sleep off it either.
Try a relaxing bath - and try to wind down a couple of hours beforehand - like some easy reading and low lights on or some nice tunes.

I take 2mg benztropine every night plus a small dose of melatonin. I read something light until it kicks in and I can usually fall asleep fairly quickly.
Reading - or if I have insomnia then a valium (2,5mg - 5mg)
