By the text, it only lets you do this by going into torpor, which doesn't lend itself well toward doing... well, anything. That said, I wouldn't be opposed to letting a character basically work at half speed (as though they had Decreased Time Rate) and get 50% of the benefit of the trait. Of course, the effect there is roughly the same as if they spent 50% of their time working and 50% in torpor, the benefit to working at half speed is you can keep an eye out the whole time (the drawback is that you still have to sleep, which I assume the guy alternating between work and torpor manages to satisfy during torpor).
