My armchair-biologist answer is that when forcing yourself to stay awake through the sleepy periods, you’re signaling to the body that there is something dangerous happening and that you need to stay alert and that makes it harder to sleep. For me it usually helps if I can sneak in a nap during the day, makes me more relaxed in the evening.
