If a character returns early from night scavenging, is that character better rested?

When characters are out scavenging at night, one can usually send them home early. Which makes sense, once the characters' packs are full and you've obtained any accessible desired items.

On the other hand staying longer would allow one to work on some of the more time-consuming scavenging tasks, like clearing rubble by hand.

That leads me to the inquiry: Does a character receive a rest bonus or otherwise for returning early from night scavenging?

The characters appear to arrive home at the beginning of the day, so it might be that no advantage other than safety is gained.
