Default Sleeplessness after a big ride

Does anyone else suffer from not being able to get to sleep after a big
ride? Today was a big one - and here I sit midnight and just cant go to
sleep. Have been to bed twice now, am totally worn out but have found that
after a heavy day of any form of excersise sleep just doesnt come to me. Is
it the endorfs or what?
Help!
Kathy.

I suggest a warm Milo with some milk - the lactose helps to relax you. Put
your fluffy scuffs on and relax for half an hour in front of the tele.

Too many flat whites after/during the ride?

It is well known that overtraining can lead to sleep disturbances.

So (they say) does the tryptophan
