When I swim in the morning, I feel like a nap shortly after.
When I swim at night, I am wired and can't fall asleep for hours.
Just swimming, too -- other exercise is just the opposite.
Whenever I swim I am energized after. I swim in mornings, now, but when I swam in the evenings, I had to try other things to help me sleep: melatonin (awesome), beer (also awesome, but the bladder hated it at 2 in the morning). Finally, the thing that worked the best for me was sitting in the sauna after the workout. That wore me out and I slept like a baby.
Now, if I can't sleep (I travel a often over 8 or 9 time zones), I sit in the sauna and take a melatonin=sleep like a baby!
