I think it's pretty common to be overstimulated after a workout for some people and there are probably many variables involved such as the high intensity of it as you alluded to. You've got all sorts of brain chemicals being released and so forth. It could also be that you are doing so much and it's a state of short-term overreaching. Yes, I've experienced this since I am an evening person so I like to workout late (relatively).

5x5 squats, deads, bench, and weighted pullups...I mean that's what I'd call overkill. For many people it's the kind of thing that will exhaust the body but put the mind on overdrive. A big cortisol response can also be a culprit there. If you are avoiding any postworkout nutrition then you have nothing to battle that.

Besides doing too much and the nutrition thing (which I don't know whether you do or not), if you go straight to bed right afterwards that's probably a waste. You'd be better off to have a little down-time rather than lying in bed for hours with no sleep.

I'd also recommend you try static stretching. The stretching can tend to do the opposite of the workout and relax you body and mind. Basica yoga does that also but I don't recommend yoga for strength people. I'm not saying stretching is for sure going to help but it won't hurt.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
