For example, I might not be sleepy at night and could stay another couple of hours awake, but if I decide to go to sleep, I am able to do so?

I think virtually no one can just “decide to fall asleep”. But what you can do is deliberately put your body in a position it associates with going to sleep.
This is why it’s recommended to have a bedtime routine, and to only sleep in your bed (don’t read books, watch TV etc).
When you have infants, you “sleep train” them. Adults can also be sleep trained. You establish a ritual for everything from how you breath, what temperature you are, what you wear, where you are…execute on all of that and your body does what it’s been trained to do.
