It depends on one's time of life.
Parents rarely get any real rest until their kids leave home.
I think that's why the Jewish-Christian-Muslim custom of one holy day per week is brilliant. The idea is to organise ahead of the day so that there is no need for housework, cooking or any kind of work on the day. It was called the Sabbath, meaning the Bride's Day: a time for husband and wife to make love, for the family to be together, and to reflect on the week (mistakes, successes, needs, plans, develop gratitude, make amends etc).
I'm not religious, but I think everyone benefits by organizing to have at least one, preferably two free days per week, plus a daily hour or two for exercise, relaxation and reflection.

Saturday was always cleaning day for me and getting errands done. Sunday was restful 😌🙂

And if you look at production levels in the 1910s when the 5 day work week was established the economic output of 8 hours/5 days a week was less than what can be done with part time hours working 4 days a week.
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Good point. We have benefitted economically from IT and robotics, however, they also bring a few negatives which we haven't yet resolved.

It depends on your work schedule. I hated when I had to work Saturday mornings! But at least I had a day of the week to run errands.

Is it possible to bring sleep to 4 hours daily? If yes, how?
