Same for me. In my experience, after a week I need a day where I just play video games, read a book and relax (usually it is Saturday). If for two days I stay home and dont meet people, I feel unwell on the evening of the second day; but one day of pure regeneration is my sweet spot.

Actually I do not have a problem with two days either :-D For me it gets hard after a week I would say. Love me some good alone time.
