It would be interesting to know how much quiet time the brain needs to properly rest throughout the day.

However I feel like this question falls into the "optimise every second of the day" thought pattern which kinda goes against the point.

That’s funny. Still, I think it’s more that the “obvious” optimal (fill up your day with productive tasks) is actually non-optimal, which is an important and useful fact to consider and share.
It likely depends on things that are difficult or impossible to measure like the amount of stress experienced in the past.
