I voted for 50%. It's not a perfect estimate, but here's why:

Eight hours for work. Eight hours for rest. Eight hours for what we will.

That was unions calling for regulation to assure a work day of no more than 8 hours, arguing that we need enough time to work and enough time to rest, and still have some time left over for leisure.

These days, 50% even seems high--but maybe that's just the end of the semester talking.

YES. Humans were not made for more than 8 steady hours of sedentary brain work. The build-up of stress hormones alone...
