Take a warm shower right before bed. Your body temperature rises, then drops rapidly when you get out, signaling sleep time. Step into a cool bed to amplify the effect.

One of my favorite sleep recommendations, whether you're home or away, take a shower before bed. Turns out that our bodies use a drop in body temperature as a signal to go to sleep. And so one of the ways to get an artificial but rapid drop in body temperature is to warm up in a shower. Then you get out and your body cools off very rapidly. And then if you get into a cold bed, which is great because you're gonna then cool your body even more, plus I don't know about you, but I find a warm shower quite relaxing.
