I think it depends on your personal state of mind. Some people might enjoy being deconnected more and others just the additional 'buffer' of time around worktime.

I don't enjoy working to begin with in the current economic system in any way. Most work, including mine is busy work to keep the infinite growth bubble from popping. Keeping the bubble alive is why a four day workweek will not happen any time soon. There's a shortage of people able to do the work that's needed. So decreasing the hours these people are available goes against the self interest of the rich.
