does this happen to else? This happenes every time i have a badass workout. Does anyone else suffer from this?

Its clearly that i tax my cns like crazy. Is this bad and does it happen to anyone else

Taxing the CNS is exactly why you may find it hard to sleep. I ALWAYS have this problem when I do leg day because when I do legs I squat and go intense. And since you did deadlifts also this is over the top in terms of stimulating the CNS.

When I work out any other body part I don't have this problem. I recommend trying to train legs on your day off from work and go to the gym a lot earlier or try to go in before work.

And by the way. It's not bad. You're working one of the largest muscle groups. Actually it's a sign that you are working it to stimulate it to grow. Just try to work legs when you can go earlier in the day and then you'll sleep like a baby at night.

I went to sleep last night with a full belly after almost killing myself in the squat rack, plus bench and deads. I woke up 2 hrs later and was afraid it was going to be another one of those post workout nights where I sleep in 2hr increments; so I downed 8oz milk, 1 scoop casein, 2tbs flax, and then some more milk until I was full. slept like a baby.

I try not to workout after 4pm due to this same problem. However if I do workout earlier I generally sleep better than I normally would. But I don't think you could fit that kind of workout into your schedule. So no idea what to tell you, unless you want to wakeup before work to do it.
