I seem to have symmetric recovery needs. If I work an hour I need an hour to unwind. 4 hours on, 4 hours to unwind. 1 day work, 1 day to unwind, 2 days on, 2 days to unwind. The pattern breaks around 5 days, where recovery is 2 days (and not just because of weekends)

But I can’t do multiple weeks in a row “on” with a 5-2 cycle. Every 3-4 weeks I need a whole week off. Every few months, I need a whole month almost off. If I were the optimizing type (I’m not) I’d figure out the max output duty cycle based on efficient recovery sweet spots.

I ask because I don't usually run out of gas. The suffering increases, but the energy remains. But I heard that is not sustainable.
