not always because if you arent well enough or dont feel up to it, they wont let you go home. Simple as! I asked to be a daycase as it suited me better but ended up stopping in as it took me a while to come round from GA ( i was ok, just sleepy) so hadnt eaten or been to toliet by time i was suppose to be going home so there was no way they were letting me go. But to be honest, im glad i stopped over… there brilliant, beds are really comfy and your home for 10am next moring! xx
