So you still have to continue to Santa Teresa to sleep in a hostel and hot shower.
You could have a nice night at the tourist discos in Santa Teresa but keep calm for the optional zip line the next day.

Day 3: Santa Teresa - Hydroelectric - Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu town).
This is going to be the easiest day because you only walk 3 hours along the road to Hydroelectric for lunch and another 3 hours along the train track to get to Aguas Calientes, but instead walking the first 3 morning hours you could have fun on the optional zip line near Santa Teresa which takes almost 2 hours and a bus will leave you at Hydroelectric.
