For me, there is a difference between practicing and rehearsing. I "rehearse" quite a lot, especially on days when I have gigs. Rehearsing (for me) is giving a performance when there is no audience present. This does me a LOT of good.
I "practice" new songs and, in doing so, I learn them...AND learn how to perform them. "Performing" songs (rather than just playing them) is my development area right now.
So...to answer the original question: It varies. I suppose at least 60 minutes each day but often a lot more than 60 minutes. It depends what's going on.
My advice: Stop when it becomes a chore and come back to it later.
