| Feb 7, 2012 at 23:58 | comment | added | user unknown | Without significant time spans, I can assure you, that I take a period of resting my brain every night, and I heard, that there is a form of torture, which avoids this resting breaks. How long are the periods where you need resting your brain? Once per week, month, year? How intensive is your daily brain usage - how to measure it? - before you need resting at all? What constitutes a resting phase? The question is too vague, and can't be answered, imho. | |

So you ought not rest your brain for decades at a time, no matter how many shows you have on your Tivo. | |
