I have a hard time falling asleep if I exercise in the evening.

Does anybody know how to overcome this?

Have you tried this for a couple of weeks or was it something you noticed if you tried it once?
I had this issue in my 20s and 30s. Staying up after an evening workout actually allowed me to get some good coding sessions in on my side projects.

I'm older now and falling asleep with or without an evening workout isn't an issue anymore.

I believe it is normal and have heard advice against training in the evenings.

The explanation I’ve heard is that it is the adrenaline production is what keeps us from falling asleep.
