Resting and recovering before heading home

After a long exam, the body is often tired. Do not rush onto the return trip if you feel drained; rest a while, drink water and eat lightly.

If the way home is long, consider one more night to recover, especially for elderly travellers. Safety matters more than saving a few hours.

Follow your doctor's advice on activity and diet after the exam. Do not do anything the doctor told you to avoid.

Set off once you feel better and with a relative beside you for peace of mind on the way back.
