It's a lot of reading, walking, and reflecting, and you get to catch up on sleep. It's still not exactly the same as what monks do, but it's very relaxing, and I would 100% recommend that everyone tries it for an hour to see if it works for you. That said, I couldn't do it for more than a day, so I have a lot of respect for people who have taken vows of silence.

There is absolutely, 100%, no way whatsoever chance in the Taemorth that I would be able to sit still for longer than five minutes without making a sarcastic comment.

Just now, in text form, I had to resist the urge to say "quiet in here, isn't it?"
