I don't know the reason why, but I do know that it is advisable not to exercise too close to bedtime. I think that is referring to vigorous exercise, however, because I know for those who have restless legs, stretching sometimes helps.

Because your activity just peaked and has to easy down. The physiological changes made through the recent activity prevents, to a certain degree, rest until the body has eased off from its active state.

After you exercise, your body is in full energy release. That's you you have trouble falling asleep after exercising. You need to make sure that you give at least 2 hours time for your body to cool down before you can go back to sleep. If you really have to workout at night, try doing low intensity workouts. That helps a lot.

You have trouble sleeping after exercising because you may be too tense. Do not over work out, but don't under work out either.

Exercise gets your heard rate up, making you more awake. It helps to not work out an hour before you go to bed or to cool down after your workout to get your heart rate back down
