Exercise at Night

Thank you all. You have all given me some insightful information.
Looks like I might do a few experiments over the next week to maybe see if I can find the one true culprit.0 -
I exercise at the exact same schedule as you. I actually sleep better doing it that way.0

I wouldn't drink caffeine that late in the day.0

In my experience, exercise at any time of the day helps you sleep better. Melatonin is only a sleep aid in that it helps you fall asleep. It really doesn't have an impact on the quality of that sleep.
I don't really have any advice other than to try changing it up and see if it makes a difference. I toss and turn, but I've always tossed and turned. Rarely, do I wake up in the same place I started. I really didn't think that meant a poor quality sleep unless it's accompanied with actual waking up.0 -
I have the same problem I am limited to when I can work out and it usually ends up being around 9 at night. I fall asleep okay but I am waking throughout the night. Not sure what to do about it either.0

Try not drinking any caffeine after lunch. I never thought that was the issue until I tried it and I sleep much better now.0

I've never had any problems sleeping after a nighttime workout (I used to love running in the dark)
