I’ve had this problem in the past, especially when the sex was amazing and I got really worked up. What worked for me was adding some relaxation techniques into my routine. I started using mindfulness meditation right after sex, which sounds a bit ‘out there,’ but it works wonders for me.
I’ll do a 5-minute deep breathing exercise while lying in bed, which helps my body cool down and signals to my brain that it's time to relax. Another trick is to lower the lights and even use aromatherapy—like lavender oil—to calm myself. Sometimes, it’s not just the physical exertion of sex that keeps you up; it’s the mental stimulation that’s lingering. So, giving myself space to process everything helps me drift off faster.
Also, it’s worth mentioning that if you’re not getting quality sleep overall, it can be a contributing factor. Maybe looking into some sleep hygiene practices—like avoiding screens before bed or sticking to a regular sleep schedule—could help alongside these techniques
