From your description it may be acting as a placebo -- the act of putting the pill into your mouth is what tells your subconscious to activate a sleep cycle.

Don’t jinx it
placebo works whether you believe or not and even if you know.
They are very powerful.
It’s less than if you don’t know though, right?
Placebos are actually very effective for improving sleep
If you call it a ritual instead of a placebo it suddenly sounds much more credible.
