Hey there! I totally understand what you're going through. I've had similar experiences, especially when I’ve been with someone who isn’t as in tune with my needs. I think it’s more common than we realize for people to struggle with sleep post-sex. The physical exertion and emotional highs can sometimes make it tough to wind down.
One thing that helped me was establishing a solid bedtime routine. If I make sure to relax before bed—like taking a warm shower, stretching, or listening to calming music—it helps me to calm my mind and body. Another thing that can make a big difference is trying to get more in sync with your partner’s energy. Sometimes, doing things like cuddling afterward or even just lying quietly together for a while can help transition into sleep more smoothly.
I also learned that it’s okay to communicate these needs to your partner. If you feel like sex or the aftermath is draining you, let them know. You’ll be surprised how understanding most people are when you open up about these struggles
