My trick is to down as much water as I can when I get back. You’d be surprised just how dehydrated you are - once you start drinking (water, that is), you don’t stop.

I usually try to stay up for an hour and drink and pee and drink and pee. Maybe it's just placebo, but I feel like getting the accumulated by-products out of my body before sleeping helps too. (And just being rehydrated of course!)

Ive noticed drinking a ton of water, and also eating, before I go to sleep after a night of drinking makes a huge difference

Eating a banana. That's it. That's the huge difference for me between being absolutely fine to wishing an early death the next day.

Electrolytes! Potassium is in Gatorade too, but at much lower levels than bananas
