On go home day, I have a nice breakfast, sleep well in the bunk, and get home that night. I’m usually pretty tired, but I just go to bed, get a good night sleep, and feel fine the next day. Domestic is harder for me. Irregular hours, short layovers, delays, weather, extra workload, and still commute. The best thing that I’ve found for my health is the last 8 months of staying home. Eventually going back to work is going to be an adjustment.
out of curiosity, do you you use melatonin or any other natural sleep aid while on layovers? I never did, but maybe that’s something I should have tried. Even when I did as you mentioned(exercise, eat well, no alcohol etc) I just had a tough time falling asleep in Europe when it was the middle of the day to my body.
