24/7 immersion might hit diminishing returns. All work and no play, etc. Go home once in a while. Sometimes, but not necessarily every time, maybe invite the sim partner, or the whole gang, for a meal or a barbeque and talk about stuff other than airplanes. Next day, dive back in refreshed.
Taking a decompression day once in a while, especially at Home (capital "H") might do more good than never taking a break. Morale is important.
That’s reasonable, and understandable. My point was coming from the context of most people don’t live near Tulsa. We didn’t go home once while there. It was, for us, 24/7. That will be true for most new hires.
