Go to sleep vs Go to bed

They can mean the same but in a very general sense.

Just because someone goes to bed, does not mean that they will fall asleep. (go to sleep)

Does "go to sleep" have the same meaning as "fall asleep"?

Thanks.

That was A-Stars' implication, yes, even though there may be a nuance depending on the situation.

To fall asleep could be used like this: I went to bed at 9:00, but I tossed and turned and didn't fall asleep until after 10:00.

Can I say "I go to sleep at 9:00, but I tossed and turned and didn't fall asleep until after 10:00"?

Thanks.

No, it doesn't make sense. We go to bed and then go to / fall asleep.
