i've been going to the gym at night for close to 5 years. It's impossible for me to fall asleep right after hitting the gym and I usually stay up until 2-3AM before going to bed.
In the past I was still going to university so staying up was not an issue because I could get up late to go to classes or take naps after a few short hours of classes but ever since I graduated and started working a year ago my life has been a complete wreck. I get through everyday like a zombie because I couldn't sleep right after gymming at night. I've tried going to the gym early in the morning but I can't get anything done during those hours.
Any night gym-goers have the same issue falling asleep after hitting the gym with ways to deal with it?
Please respond?

Relaxes my body and I've been falling asleep faster.
Do you use pre-workout or have anything with caffeine before the gym?

I only take preworkouts on weekends where I know I can stay up and sleep in the next day.

Is it available over the counter? What brand do you use?

Yes, and there's no real difference between brands besides price. Go look up what melatonin is before you just run out and buy shit based on someone's anonymous internet advice, holy fuck.

I was planning on that but a recommendation wouldn't hurt.
