I suppose it depends what you mean by the question. Certainly there's nothing meritorious about wasting your life. But on the other hand, if you've developed a sense for your own productive limitations, then it's probably apparent that there are diminishing returns for more work after a certain point. Stress kills, after all.

So wasting time to wind down from high levels of activity is perfectly acceptable, and you should in no way feel bad about wasting time that way, and that sort of time-wasting needs no further justification.
