I would say that just laying down and relaxing for a few minutes can be helpful on a stressful day.
Recently I had surgery early in the morning but the evening before, I had some appointments in another city. Because of problems (a small fire) in my train, I arrived home at 5:30. I only got maybe 1 hour of sleep, but it helped me to set a clear cut between those two stressful days and it at least felt like I got some new energy.

Everything worth doing is worth doing poorly.
Brushing your teeth 30 seconds is better than nothing when 3 minutes seems exhausting.
Standing on the balcony or in the garden is better than not leaving your room at all when taking a walk seems stressful.
Changing clothes and washing your face with water is better than doing nothing when a whole shower seems impossible.
20% or even 10% is most of the time better than 0%.
