Why do I have trouble sleeping after exercise?

Maybe you exercised too much or too "strongly" for your body, try to reduce exercise and see. If it keeps going like this see your doctor.

Normally if I can't sleep after exercising, it is normally because I am pumped up after my workout. I generally have spent time trying to increase my heart rate, and when I sleep, my heart rate goes down. While my brain focuses on trying to slow down my heart, it is hard to tell my brain to make me sleep.

what does exercise do? It not only wakes you up but almost all the important muscles in your body too in a manner of speaking wake up. That is why those who don't exercise become lethargic and fall into a lethargy induced slumber. After exercise all the doors and windows of your body shop are open. One by one you start closing the windows and doors before sweet slumber pulls down the shutter of your body shop

A lot of the time, it's difficult to allow your body to shut itself down after you vamp it up a bunch.

Even when you finish a workout, the body takes a long time to calm down. Endorphins and other chemicals have been released to make you more alert and energetic. Your body is also slow to fully cool down and calm down after exercise, and until this happens, you will be fighting an uphill battle when trying to relax and sleep. In fact, exercise can cause your core temperature to be increased for four or five hours after working out. Finish you exercise routine 3 to 4 hours before bed or do it during the day or morning.

I have a feeling to believe that is because your adrenaline is pumped up and it stops your body from being anything but active.

Excising before going to sleep makes your body get energized and it is difficult for your body to be tired after physical activity

From scientific research, after exercise your body becomes more "active" in essence, by exercising, your making yourself more awake, so when you come to get into bed, your body will disagree with you and wants to stay up longer

Exercise causes adrenaline production. It's generally recommended not to do any heavy exercise 1-2 hours before bed. If you're tired you're more likely to not exercise as well as you would have if you had the energy you had earlier in the day as well.

Sometimes, right after a workout, we have all these hormones like adrenaline going through our bodies like crazy, making us all pumped up for the day — that's one of the reasons many people choose to work out first thing in the morning, to jump start their day! If you work out several hours before going to sleep, this could be solved. If it still doesn't help much, maybe a workout earlier in the day could really be the jolt of energy your day needs! That's really good news — I wish I had that kind of energy-booster :) Good luck!
