    I have trouble falling asleep even when I work out right after work.

    Thanks for the input...I was actually thinking it might raise my metabolism before bed, had never read anything about it but it just makes logical sense. Definitely going to get some exercise in later :)

    I love running late at night. I try to do it once a week and find it just starts my weight loss if I get stuck for 2-4 days at one weight.

    For sleep hygien it's not the best

    Even if there was some sort of advantage to working out at a certain time of the day (which there isn't), doing it consistently at a time which fits into your lifestyle is far better than missing workouts because you can't fit them in or can only put in a half-hearted effort at other times. In other words, fit your workouts in whenever works best for you.

    For me, when I workout late...if I take a hot shower before bed it tends to help me sleep better, too.

    I agree with this! It's the best...

    I love going running late at around 10pm - it's really peaceful yet you'd be surprised how many others are out doing the same thing. I find that I am more awake when I get back, but if I really push it and tire myself out, then I can sleep with no problems after a lovely long hot shower.
