I literally posses the knowledge that I will wake up early tomorrow but I somehow cannot pass that knowledge along to whichever part of my brain governs falling asleep.
What kind of retard designed this?

The cicadan rythms keep me up. Noisy bugs.

your body is programmed to keep you awake for multiple reasons

IDK OP... I just roll over on my left side and within 15 minutes I am asleep.

I can what's your problem. I lay down I can go to sleep anytime.

It should take 10 minutes from letting go and relaxing. If you can't let go or relax, its most likely from lack of exertion.
But if you can lay down and relax: More than 10 minutes, its and its UARS, ADD, or something else.

Circadian rhythm is just a bonus.
>>
Scientifically speaking, why can't I just make my body cum using thoughts only?

You got three options.

Take 3mg of melatonin an hour prior to sleep, take 100mg of trazadone 30 minutes prior to sleep, take 1mg of clonidine prior to sleep

All three of these will keep you knocked out

skill issue, you can.

Why take amounts you can't take regularly without getting tolerance to it, and why advice it without the disclaimer?

only sun gave light and warmth, during day most important stuff happens, must be awake and alert

sun goes down, it get cold and dark, a lot of interesting and dangerous stuff is asleep or hiding, and ancestors probably tired from hunting stuff all day and running away from predators

ok says brain, when there is no light and no warmth I go sleepy sleeps ok

when there is light and warmth, I be awakes and do stuffs and things ok?

brain decide this long time ago, and it keep doing it over and over again cuz it works for a very long time, no reason to change, would take too much work, gotta redesign from the ground up

Hope this explains simply enough why light and temperature affect sleep, why it's imperative to reduce light exposure from 6pm/7pm onwards and to reduce heat, and why this is so fundamentally ingrained in human nervous system physiology. One "scientific" interesting tip I can give you is that fasting will help restore your circadian rhythm. One of the primary "sleepiness" clocks your body uses is adenosine, which builds up throughout the day, starts building up much faster when light is reduced and temperature goes down, and once it reaches a certain point it starts to induce sleep. In the morning, adenosine gets cleared, and the "clock" starts building up again from zero. This is why light exposure late in the day hinders sleep, because it keeps adenosine from reaching this threshold necessary to induce sleep. Anyway, when you fast, your insulin sensitivity increases and the adenosine receptors are involved in this process. If your adenosine functioning is disrupted due to improper lifestyle patterns or caffeine use, they will return closer to their "normal" functioning due to this signalling.
