## Summary

A survey of young adults found that many Gen Z and millennial respondents enjoy discussing an event the next morning even more than experiencing it, highlighting the value they place on in-person time with friends. A therapist quoted in the article said that sharing different perspectives can turn an event into a collective story and strengthen a sense of connection.

The survey questioned 1,000 Gen Z and 1,000 millennial adults. Fifty-five per cent said a morning debrief is more exciting than the previous night, while 64 per cent called one essential after a major event; the average recap lasted 85 minutes. Popular activities included looking at photos and videos (44 per cent), planning another get-together (40 per cent) and sharing gossip (39 per cent), while 52 per cent said they had extended a stay to make time for a travel debrief.
