Default Importance of Sleep/Rest

I honestly searched the forums archives but didn't find anything directly on point. I'm sure someone will show me where this has been discussed at length.

My current program calls for lifting MTRF - 4 days. I try to do cardio for 30 minutes on the weekend. My primary goal is building size, but don't want to add anything around the middle - at least not too much.

What about Wednesdays and the importance of a true rest day? I'm so tempted to get up early like I do those other mornings during the week and do something - more cardio, throw in additional isolation exercises, because I just feel like I should be doing something. However, I'm sure it makes sense to have some time off (and more than 6 hours of sleep every night, too).

Thoughts? Just take a day off as prescribed or okay to slip in something else? Thanks!
