The colder it is the better i can fall asleep.

You could drink some hot milk or have turkey for dinner that contain tryptophan. *makes you sleepy.

Or if those fail.. Diphenhydramine and Doxylamine.. Any over the counter cold/cough etc has this.. and it's the key ingredient in NyQuil and Robitussim night. Safe alternative instead of taking ambien or other sleeping pills of that such that carries high potential to addiction or withdrawal.

Great info, I'll have to try it. I don't drink soda or coffee. Hot milk doesn't do much, Turkey, that's a new one. I'll have to try it.
