Pre workouts with no insomnia

Can anyone recommend a pre workout that won’t give me insomnia? I get out of work at 3pm to workout and sleep around 10pm.

    I don't take preworkout and therefore can't give any personal recommendations, though I can say that you might be hard-pressed to find a preworkout that doesn't interfere with your sleep, unless you consume it at an earlier time. Caffeine (and sometimes other added stimulants) is what gives the kick of preworkout, with some brands containing up to 400mg per serving (almost 4 cups of coffee). I've seen preworkouts with as little as 60mg, though that being said, any caffeine could still have an effect for up to ~6 hours after consumption.

    I figured so. I am doing some google research and trying to see which is best for me. I guess I’ll look for the lowest mg.

    Don't exist. The ones that claim they can be taken close to bedtime are mostly scams. Been looking for the past 3 years. You rather have a banana and 3 egg whites or a espresso shot.

    That's one reason I don't even consider them. They all have some kind of "energizier" in them and I'm very sensitive to such things. Can't tolerate even one cup of caffeinated coffee!
