It's okay to have some days where you really just rest (including mental rest). Trying to force yourself to do a ton of stuff while feeling exhausted can end up just making you even less productive sometimes.

Also, re: research work: while I was writing my thesis, I found that sometimes a few days of not working on it ended up being productive because I ended up just thinking about it a lot, so when I did sit down to work, I had already worked out in my head a lot of what I wanted to do. Maybe that might also happen to you? If you find yourself thinking about your research problems a lot in your spare time, that can turn out to be quite useful work!
