    {
      "heading": "What the literature establishes",
      "point": "Sabine Sonnentag and Ute-Vera Bayer (2005, Journal of Occupational Health Psychology) studied psychological detachment from work during leisure time using daily reports."

    {
      "heading": "Recovery involves more than relaxation",
      "point": "Sabine Sonnentag and Charlotte Fritz (2007, Journal of Occupational Health Psychology) distinguish four recovery experiences: psychological detachment, relaxation, mastery experiences and control over leisure time."

    {
      "heading": "The premature conclusion",
      "point": "One might conclude that emotional debriefing at the end of the day should be avoided altogether."
    },
    {
      "heading": "What the evidence cannot prescribe",
      "point": "A daily diary study and a questionnaire validation do not establish that a closing routine causally improves recovery."
    },
    {
      "heading": "A practical check in Sion",
      "point": "In Sion, SHR could propose a trial with a team in hydropower, healthcare, winegrowing or Alpine tourism: observe a normal week, then test a closing routine for one week before the end of each shift, giving every outstanding concern a next action, an owner and a deadline."
