- night cap with nuts
- maximise sleep

The crew would also take your preference for second service
- wake up for full service
- wake up for a drink 50 mins before landing
- maximise sleep

I find a lot of crew, regardless of experience, currently get confused about the separate drink in CW due to the post 2130 departure standards for other cabins (i.e. WTP and WT is a combined meal and drinks service with no separate drinks round ). They just see post 2130 departure and automatically default to the combined service standards.

As pointed out above, the correct standard is separate drink round for those wishing to have full experience.
