How do you unwind?

Sometimes I have problems getting to sleep after a good night of salsa dancing, because I can't unwind. My heart is still beating fast and I'm feeling good and the last thing I want to do is go to bed. For the past several years I have been coming home and eating something and watching TV and then going to bed. However, thats not helping my waisteline - so I was wondering what do other people do to get to sleep after they had a good/great night of dancing?
 
Unfortunately my answer probably won't be of any help to you, but here it is anyway: "I don't"

Seriously, I know better than to try going to sleep if I'm wound up, so I just stay up and get work done until I feel myself getting sleepy.
 
Wound up. Late night. Senses alive. Beautiful dance partners in my arms for hours. What would you think is my preferred way to unwind? 8) :lol:
 
A big cup of soup. You know the kind you mix with hot water. Hot food that fills your stomach makes me always sleepy. And soup don't add anything to your wasteline.

I just lie down in the dark often with my ipod on and replay the good bits of the night - often practicing leading in my head....it's unbelieveably sad I know, I guess I simply haven't found a way to come down from a good night yet and my other half is usually asleep when I get home so i can't put the TV / lights / microwave / computer on. Bed is really the only option....

Thats funny, the other night I was laying in bed after a night dancing and I was half asleep and songs from the night were playing in my head, but the funny part was that the songs would fade out at the end of the song and then a new song would start. My brain must have its own DJ!!! It was a little bit of a trip, because one of my favorite songs came on and I thought to myself - man, I gotta dance to this song :!: Thats when I realized I was lying in bed, listening to music in my head :)
 
I don't know how you do guys, but after 3-4 hours of dancing and going to sleep at 1 am, i just fall asleep instantly ^^
 
To be honest. i just tend to fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow. No need to unwind for me.
I'll count myself lucky on that one.

I meant of course we should all just stay out later......
