Weird insomnia after gym – anyone else?

Okay, this is driving me crazy. I’ve been working out for years – up at 6 AM, 30 mins cardio, then weights. Felt amazing. But out of nowhere, around age 33, I started waking up at 2-3 AM every night, wide awake. No stress, no caffeine, nothing changed except my routine.

What I’ve tried (nothing works):
  • Switched to evening workouts - made it worse
  • Cut out pre-workout - no difference
  • Tried melatonin/magnesium - barely helped
  • -Saw a doctor - "Maybe cortisol?" but no real fix

Is this an adrenaline thing? Overtraining? I refuse to believe the only solution is quitting the gym. Anyone deal with this and figure it out?
