Driving around with your accessories turned on after jump starting a car will cause the battery to charge very slow, accessories use up the power that would recharge your battery. Any decent mechanic knows this. 15-30 min. is all u should need if the battery & alternator are good.

Drive it around for at least a half hour with accessories turned on: headlights, air conditionning etc, so the alternator has to recharge allthe time it is driven by the accesory belt.
If you keep having trouble with starting your engine the next day, there is one of two things to consider: either your battery cannot keep its charge (you'll have to replace it) or your alternator has to be repaired/replaced.

first, jump your car.
Second, leave it running idle for around half an hour. That should get enough battery going for your car to return to "normal"
hope this helps.

Last time my friend had their car jumpstarted the tow truck guy told him not to turn the car off for 30 minutes.

i'd suggest letting it idle for an hour. keep a fresh battery, or friend's car around...let your car idle for a while, turn your car off and see if it starts.
