From the introvert side of things: I totally do the going to bed early thing and the hiding behind my computer thing. I sometimes do the walk thing, though that works better some places than others, for various reasons. I try to make sure I get one-on-one visiting time with my hosts as I can deal a lot better with one-on-one time than with big group time.

The trap I fall into is, if I can't go to bed early for whatever reason, and there is a big group situation that I'm facing, I become less and less able to ask for what I need coherently, or even to realize what I need. Those are the points when I am in danger of being a total snappish asshole and/or shutting down and losing it.

Also, when I'm not getting enough alone time, sometimes that recovery winds up coming out of my sleep time, which can also produce the falling-to-pieces effect.

When hosting extroverts - I let them run their own social show. I don't go with them everywhere, but I am usually pulled out of my social comfort zone to some degree, which is totally okay. It's much easier to manage than being away from home is.
