Ever have trouble sleeping following a practice / gig?

In all the bands I've been in, after a late night practice I always takes an age to get to sleep after, like my brain is still racing. Gigs I sort of understand as there is usually a bit of a buzz / nerves from playing in front of people.

Mentioned it to a guy at work, he 'suffers' from the same thing after doing his evening radio show.

Any of you guys experience the same? 

I get that problem after a good rehearsal. I am constantly going over the material and it dominates my thoughts. Usually results in a crap nights sleep. 

If you find the cure let me know

Rehearsals are different for us due to needing to drive for 40mins to our bassist's house for them.

Gigs - its easier now, but there's definitely a period of wind down at home. Sometimes a drink, sometimes just looking at the net, sometimes just processing how it went in a reflective sense rather than in detail. I'm normally quite tired the following morning, but that tiredness rarely manifests itself in needing to hit the sack the moment we return home after the gig.
