My tactic for falling asleep just about anywhere is over-ear headphones (QC35) and a sleeping mask.

Sleeping slightly on your side is no problem with QC35 and if the noise around you is low enough you don't even need white noise. The battery lasts a couple of nights too (esp with no white noise on).

I've tried doing the same with Sonys over-ear but they make a loud noise when I move my head so they don't work for me at all. AirPods Pro work in a pinch but the battery runs out and my ears start hurting.

Another thing which I find mildy helpful which wasn't mentioned here is Valerian. If my lack of sleep is stress-related Valerian works sometimes for calming. If my lack of sleep is due to bad routine / off schedule Melatonin works very well but if I'm stressed it does not work at all and leaves me groggy in the morning.

Can you provide a link to Valerian? pills?

Yeah, pills. I'm a Swede so you'll probably need to look for a different brand if you're in the US. Here is the ones I buy: "Valerina Forte" https://www.fass.se/LIF/product?nplId=20090224000447&userTyp...
