Why can’t we go to sleep on demand like how we are controlling other parts of the body?

We can stop breathing when we want to. We can also “tell” our body to do what we want such as moving, holding, typing, etc. So why can’t we just “tell” our brain to go to sleep immediately instead of having to wait for it to fall asleep.

You can not control it, but you can condition yourself to sleep when you want to it just has to be the same everyday. I used to work somewhere that was very close to my apartment so instead of going out to eat for my hour break i would literally go home get a bite to eat and take a 30 minute nap. After like a week of doing this, i would sit in my recliner and almost instanly fall asleep.
