All this survey reports are the things people consider to be restful. To that end it doesn't seem more valuable for your personal use than just asking yourself what you find most restful and doing that. It's not actually a study that demonstrates a connection between what things people conventionally think of as restful – such as being in the natural environment, or reading a book – and whether there is any evidence this is more effectively restful than, say, getting coffee with a friend. Do these people work more effectively? Sleep more soundly? Do their brain exhibit neurological features of restfulness? Do they get fewer illnesses? No data. If we actually consult the research [1] we can see this was never the aims of the survey: "The Rest Test sought to explore people’s subjective experiences of rest" (emphasis added) What they do measure is whether people consider their 'subjective wellbeing' improved with rest. But what other people think makes them feel better may not be what actually makes you feel better. So: interesting anthropologically, but not at all what the title suggests.
