The amount of time played is typically in proportion to the free time available. Summertime activities seems to take priority over poker during the few warm month we have year.
I play poker every day but I think a two day break makes the mind re-evaluate and digest what it has learned from tournaments. Sometimes we play and we play and we play and we don't rest our mind but I think that taking a break between some tournaments is good for mental health.
Lately I play every day I like it a lot, I want to achieve goals that I set myself to go far in poker although it is difficult for me I do not lose my hope to achieve it!
