    Some people have trouble sleeping when they do things like that.

    Personally, I don't. In fact, I find it helps me get a good night's sleep.

    In my case I cycle, and what I used to do most winters was to ride my trainer (bicycle on indoor device) for about an hour doing "commercial intervals", then I'd lift some weights, and then I would turn down the lights, put on some relaxing music and do some stretching and yoga.

    About half an hour later, I was sound asleep. :)
