How do you feel after only 1 day off?
Comment below

A 2017 study found that full recovery after a 24-hour shift takes at least 2-3 days, based on changes in HRV and stress levels.

Day 1 Post-Shift: Elevated stress & reduced recovery. Cortisol response is blunted, HRV remains low.

Day 2 Post-Shift: Significant improvements in HRV & stress reduction. Body starts rebalancing.

Day 3 Post-Shift: Near full recovery. Autonomic function normalizes, HRV reaches baseline.

This concludes that more than one rest day is essential for recovery.

Study Limitations
🔹 Small sample size (n=14) limits generalizability.
🔹 No control group to compare recovery patterns to.
🔹 Lifestyle factors (exercise, alcohol, diet) were not controlled, which may have influenced HRV data.
🔹 Only male participants were included, limiting applicability to female rescuersrer
