Wow, I’ve never heard anyone else talk about this, but I’ve definitely had the same issue in my past relationships. Sex can be so intense that your body is left in this heightened state, and trying to transition into sleep right afterward can be difficult. Sometimes, after a particularly intense session, I’ve found myself laying there for hours, unable to relax.
For me, the key has been giving myself time to unwind. I don’t rush into sleep; I spend some time on my own afterward, reading or watching something light to shift my focus. Even though I’m exhausted, giving my mind something to do besides replaying the experience helps me settle down. I also find that staying hydrated and eating a light snack before sex helps to balance my energy afterward.
I think it also comes down to a bit of self-awareness. If I’m too physically spent, it can be harder to sleep, but if I'm mentally clear, I tend to have an easier time. Everyone’s different, but maybe a bit of trial and error will help you figure out what works for you
