I find that after a gig I have a heck of a time getting to sleep. If it was a good gig I'm just buzzed, full of energy. If the gig was a train wreck then I fret about it all night long.
Not only do I break down my rig, I also assist with the PA - but we a have a very compact system mand the singer rides herd over it.
I hear you - between playing hard all night and tearing down as fast as I can, I am still pumped when I get home.....................a light meal and a few libations usually fix this.
