This Works Deep Sleep Pillow Spray, both at home and in hotels. It's more than just lavender, and it is a relaxing smell. For me, I wonder if part of the effectiveness is the ritual of using it which triggers my mind that it is time to sleep. One could probably concoct a cheaper version using essential oils, but I like this formula.
Also, if you're bothered by smoke smells (as I am), just having something to either get rid of or mask smoke smells could help.
PS, it is cheaper in the UK, but also available via retailers like Net-A-Porter. There are often good deals on travel size kits (and the travel size spray is obviously much better for actually traveling; the 75 mL bottle is bulky); I have one that has a mini pillow spray and a roller ball of something called No Stress, which I really like.
