How do you wind down after a gig?
How do you wind down after a gig? Posted on: 22.12.2012 by Jetta Drenzek I DJ two evening
s a week (Toevening
and tomorrow) and I'm sat here wide awake, unable to sleep at 5:30 AM, after being home since 4:30. I work a 9 to 5 job in the week so surely I should be absolutely shattered by now, but instead I find myself itching to make more mixes (even though I've just been doing it for 4 hours straight) until my body literally drops.Anyone have any tips on getting some shut eye after a gig? | |

| Ara Tima 27.12.2012 | I'll usually have a beer and a "smoke" and that does the job. |

| Meg Reinoehl 24.12.2012 | Yeah, it's tough. I'm usually pretty exhausted, physically, when I'm done playing so if I can somehow skip out, sleep will come pretty easily. If I stick around and hang out with people, that usually means a late evening out and in bed by around 8am. |
| Lauretta Ehrhorn 24.12.2012 | Red Wine and Iplayer. That is all. |

| Ulysses Okelly 24.12.2012 | watch a david attenborough documentary and wait for the jaw to stop swinging... |
| Cira Swanda 24.12.2012 | after my sets (college parties) I have an ice cold beer at home with my roommates and talk about how filthy the dance floor got |
| Stanley Topoleski 24.12.2012 | i usually hang out with my friend for an hour or so walk with him/her home |
| Mirella Bohland 24.12.2012 | I usually come home and the first thing I do is wash off the club funk. Afterwards, make a cup of hot herbal tea (the fancier the better). I don't listen to music afterwards because the ear fatigue has really set in by the time I get home. A little herbal tea and a little reading in bed go a long way to calm me down. |
| Margaretta Hebenstreit 22.12.2012 | Stay at the club for another hour and dance your ass off to the dj playing after you |
