Military night
A military night or Prussian night is the rule that was originally customary in armies to allow complaints and the like only after one night, in order to ensure that the occasion is reconsidered. This is known from the Prussian and British Army and, as the Military Complaints Regulations of the German Federal Armed Forces or the General Service Regulation of the Austrian Armed Forces stipulates still valid as admission in today's armies in time . The relevant regulations of the Bundeswehr state that complaints should be allowed "after one night at the earliest":
The complaint may not be lodged before one night has elapsed and must be filed within one month after the complainant has become aware of the cause of the complaint. ( Section 6 (1) WBO )
This formal regulation in dealing with conflict situations corresponds to the eloquent recommendation to “sleep in again” on an affective reaction before exercising it.
