If it's hot in the plane, that might be blocking you from sleeping. Personally I'm always cold in planes and fall asleep relatively easily both on planes and elsewhere.
It also helps to be jet-lagged. Knocks you out right quick :P Only applies to return trips though.
Probably why they put the temperature a bit lower than expected, sleeping means people using less oxygen, using toilets less, drinking less, and moving around less. I'm sure the stewards and stewardesses prefer more people to sleep so they have a less hectic workload.
