How do you recuperate after a trip

I need at least a half day of doing little to nothing (probably reading, getting a report ready, etc) before I get back to the grind of daily life.

Do you have any recuperating rituals after a trip?

 

I basically do nothing for a day. I pretend I'm not dead tired and broke, but it's pretty easy to tell I'm exhausted and my wallets empty.

 

Haha. SLEEP. 24 hours. Then work 8, then more sleep.

 

I always take the day-after-return as an off day, to recover...(unless, of course, I return on a Friday or Saturday).
On that recovery day, I force myself to get up at my regular weekday time, and force myself to stay up until my normal time to go to sleep. That usually works.

 

i usually go to sleep on the plane after we finally take off for home, and when i wake up, am grabbing for my boarding pass or any other piece of paper to start writing my list of what i need to do when i get home. do a thing or two on the list, find i am not really so behind and do not have to feel guilty for leaving, sleep well, and get back to life the next morning!

 

As soon as I land at my home airport(Midway), I am over Las Vegas. Does not take much for me to recuperate. I don't need to do anything out of the ordinary.

 

Ha! Ohhhh man is that ever me!

 

Sleep. And more sleep.

 

I always plan to have a day off before going in to work, again.
But....
I'll end of mowing the lawn + doing laundry.
If I get to bed at a reasonable hour on my return home ?
( usually not ! )......
golf in the early a.m.

 

I don't recoup, I leave Vegas mid afternoon and jump into work the next day bright and early

 

Place to return on a Thursday and have a 3 day weekend to recoup and get back on Eastern time

 

Six pack and a pound from Taco Johns....Then a 12 hour nap!

 

I always book Vegas Sun-Fri and on the following Monday at work I used to so often think, "I should've taken Monday off."

Now I take that Monday off too...so come back home to a three-day weekend. It's like another gift to myself.

 

i usually don't get home until after midnight when i get back and have to work at 6:30 am so its a very rough day

 

I plan the trip so I have two days to rest before going back to work.

During those two days I sleep, eat more fruit and juices since I know my body resistance is at an all time low, therefore easily succeptable to getting sick.

 

Sleep for 10-12 hours...then start planning my next trip.
