| I guess I am different from the people who have replied so far. I have tried warm downs with low notes, even pedals. For me, I do much better the following day if I stay away from the pedals at the end of practice. Maybe it's a muscle memory thing or something? If I end on pedals, the following day I find it hard to refocus and the upper register is harder. If I end on simple long tones, concentrating on pure tone, ease of tone production, and stay above mid C, the following day is much better.
