recovery
▸ Postnights team breakfasts are not just a social event. They allow you to informally ‘decompress’ and reflect on events which may have occurred during your shifts. Airing worries and anxieties in a supportive environment will likely help you sleep better
▸ After your final night, aim for a short morning nap (1–2 hours), ideally before midday, then get up and do as many ‘normal’ activities as possible
Re-establish normal eating and exercise patterns
▸ Aim for as close to your normal bedtime as possible
▸ Aim for a short lie in only on the following morning; try to get up as close to your normal wake time as possible, and to go to bed only slightly earlier than usual
▸ You are likely to need two ‘normal’ nights to successfully re-establish your usual sleep pattern
▸ …remember your judgement is likely to be a bit impaired after nights, so beware the attraction of the postnights spending spree!
