Thank you all so much for your input!!! This was my 1st post I think on MFP LOL
I am going to try it tomorrow evening and see what happens. If so many other people do it at night with no sleep problems, I should be OK, I think!! Will let you ll know how it goes

Actually, I was told that people who have trouble sleeping are recommended to do exercise close to the time that they're suppose to sleep because it helps relax your body and whatnot. I need to get back into exercising, but as an insomniac (I don't even sleep usually till around 10 or so a.m. and when I finally do, I only usually get a few broken up hours worth of sleep), I can verify that it does help me sleep a little better when I do exercise late at night.0

Good Luck! Hope you sleep like a log! xx0 -
It totally depends on you and how much exercise you do. Some nights I sleep like I've been deprived for days, others are pretty fitful. But note how I still exercise at night regardless.0

I'm typically an 8:30 PM person with the heavier cardio. Lets dinner settle, and I can raise my metabolism a bit after the evening meal. Zero problems with sleep. Great topic!0

Sleep like a baby. 8 pm Cardio Party (Turbo Jam) SO SUPER HIGH IMPACT. Shower and in bed by 110

I sleep like a baby :]
You wake up every two hours, screaming because you crapped your pants?
I'd workout in the AM if I were you.
OP: It boils down to personal preference.0 -
i find it helps me sleep...a nice warm cup of caffeine- free tea might help ya0

With my work schedule, it has to be early in the morning or late at night. When I have to workout at night, I can't even start til 10:30, which is a bit rough. Doing P90X and Insanity rotations, it does get my heart rate up to the point that it can take awhile to get to sleep. In that case, I pick up something to read for a bit. For me, momentum is important. When I'm doing well with keeping up with my workouts, I want to keep it going. Too easy to start missing and get into a downhill slide.0

No i find it actually helps me go to sleep.0
