Entirely anecdotal, but my personal experience confirms this. I switched to 4-day weeks nearly four years ago and it feels very beneficial. Claiming I get the same amount of work done in less time would be an overstatement, but I'm definitely more productive in the four days when I'm working. Can't remember the last time I suffered any work-related stress and my motivations for taking time off are almost purely external now (spending time with friends and family), never the feeling of needing a break.
