...after running hard in the evening? It is like the runner's high lasts into the night. I am too lazy to get up in the morning. Usually I hit snooze a few times then its tazmanian devil until the door slams shut.
 
Yes, It seems the harder I push myself and more energy I spend while backpacking, the less sleep I get... Starting to wonder if an extra pound or so worth of sleep pad would be worth it if it just helps a little..
 
I have to figure that I will be up at least an hour after I get back. My body is tired, but my mind stays awake!
 
Late hockey games were the worst for me. Sometimes the games wouldn't start until 10:00 so it's well after 1:00 before I'd get home and usually after 3:00 before I could fall asleep. I used to have the same problem with running, but I've juggled my schedule so that I workout right after work and that seems to help.
 
I have always been a morning exerciser and I sleep great….but, on the days I can't exercise in the morning, if I do it at night after about 6:00 or so, it never fails, I will be up ALL night. On the other hand, if bearguide exercises with me at night, he goes to bed and sleeps like a baby, and he says if he exercises hard in the morning then he is tired all day. I feel like a new person when I get it done in the morning. Out on a hunting trip I am usually so exhausted when I hit the sack that I fall asleep easily. :)
I am so thankful for that, because morning comes VERY early on the mountain.

I was going to post exactly the same thing. Late hockey is the worst on the sleep schedule.

I PT right when I get home, in the heat of the day. As tired as I am at bedtime one would assume easy sleepins.

It's entirely possible that the trouble falling asleep and the exercising are not related.
 
If you have trouble in sleeping then try to drink a glass of milk before going to the bed. Milk is best for a good night sleeping. Try to sleep at time.
