Prayers for you brother. I have a hard time sleeping on planes and I’m lucky if I can get an hour or so of sleep on a plane. And pills that make most people sleep make me stay awake and give me weird dreams.
If it’s a night flight to Europe, my best strategy is to wake up early the day before and work out. Go to bed early the night before and wake up early that day and have a really hard workout. That usually lets me get in a good hour or two of sleep. I’ll be a little groggy that first day, but functional.

Coming back home I usually just say frick it and recover when back.
But going to like on vacation or work when you want to maximize your time, I always find it helps to plan starting the night before the trip. Exercise and sleep early or late the night before, if going east go to bed hella early like 8pm if going west hella late like 2am. Then exercise and be as active as possible prior to your flight so your body is tired and needs rest again. The last thing you want is to have your mind and muscles not in a place to need to sleep in tight quarters.
After that as said some meds.
My last couple flights the meals have been really off times. Like dinner at 9pm headed east to Europe. So you may consider bringing food on the plane to help buy extra time to rest or whatever.
