Very much so but it depends on your goals and the exercise you do. You would naturly need more rest from doing compound movements like the big 3, bench, squat, deadlifts, but for something like curls, it should be short.
You want to go for strength, so lets say you rest for 2 minutes in-between each set. Your next workout rest 5-10 seconds less than the previous. Until you get to 1 minute or so. OR One week take 5 seconds off the rest time the next week add 5lbs. and alternate between the two. This will also help in building Strength Endurance.
Also, if I were to go my how much I sweat, all I'd have to do is do 2 sets of squats and leave.
