Sleep issues after VO2 Max work

Hey everybody. I’ve been struggling with some sleep related issues and I’m hoping someone out here has had similar experiences and successes. I train after work, typically getting on the bike at 6pm. All through SSB1 I really had zero issues. Now that I’m well into SSB2 I’m noticing I’m having a really hard time getting to sleep after VO2 Max work. Tonight I had a great workout, VO2 Max at 105% intensity (#humblebrag), and sure enough it looks like it’s going to be a sleepless night. Has anyone…

Struggling to sleep after threshold workouts

Hello, due to work constraints I tend to train at about 6pm. I regularly struggle to sleep after extended threshold sessions. I don’t have the problem to the same extent with any other type of training sessions, including VO2 max. My legs absolutely buzz and seem to be’awake’, its not an unpleasant sensation, but makes it hard to sleep and will also wake me up. Any thoughts… extended cool down? massage / stretch? dunno - any detailed advice welcome.
