"Overall, the studies reviewed here do not support the hypothesis that evening exercise negatively affects sleep, in fact rather the opposite. However, sleep-onset latency, total sleep time, and SE might be impaired after vigorous exercise ending ≤ 1 h before bedtime."

My experience is that I can do some training late in the evening or night, as long as it's not too intense. I used to train rugby from 9 PM till 11 PM and it was quite difficult to go to bed afterwards.
