Nuns spent several hours a day in private prayer, they also read and sewed in their free time also. Nuns are were very religious women and prayed several hours a day. They also worked everyday for several hours, then went to bed as soon as all the duties were completed, and woke up to yet another day of praying and endless work !!
Roman Catholic AnswerNun's "free time" under most of the old rules, was usually not "free". There was a hour or so each day termed recreation, when the nuns usually meant for conversation, or perhaps a walk. Occasionally nuns would have a "cell day" which meant they were free to clean up their cells. The Horarium (schedule) usually does not allow specific "free time" outside of recreation, and personal needs.
