Keep your first shift back simple.
You do not need a perfect reset. You need:
• food ready
• water ready
• a caffeine cut-off
• a calm post-shift routine
Consistency beats intensity.

Make the difficult parts of your shift easier before you get tired:
• prep food before work
• pack your bag before work
• know your caffeine cut-off
• have water ready
• keep a simple reset routine for breaks
Night shifts get easier when fewer decisions are left for 3 AM.

A practical rule: have a personal caffeine cut-off.
Choose a point late enough to get through your shift, but early enough to give yourself a better chance of sleeping after work. Test it and adjust it to your schedule.

Finally: give yourself a short repeatable sequence.
Shower. Small meal. Low lights. Bed.
Not perfect. Just familiar enough that your body starts recognizing: “we sleep now.”
