Does running make you fall asleep sooner or stay awake?

I've been thinking about this and I'm just not sure. I guess it makes you tired, but you feel more awake. I don't know.

Sports wake me up. Then an hour after rigorous running and such I'm exhausted.

Sports get my adrenaline pumping like crazy, and then an hour later I feel like jumping in a spa.

Well, I'm going to run tonight, and hopefully that'll be alright, because I have a lot of work to do tonight.

Sometimes I need to lose mastery of my domain in order to go to sleep.

Do it a few hours at least before you go to sleep. Too close to bedtime and it'll keep you up.

I think it energizes me. Especially if I'm in that half-awake state where I can't seem to get any work done, but end up browsing ATOT instead? A few minutes of running and I'll be golden.

running in the morning usually wakes me up for the rest of the morning. running in afternoon makes me pretty tired until after 9 or so

wakes me up. endorphins released and all that.

Depends. For me, a nice run keeps me energized for the rest of the day. A hard speed session or a particularely long run (16 miles or more) knocks me out

That always puts me right to sleep.
