Build up a good head of boredom

To be in the cellar then, this is the most terrifying thing Zinkoff can imagine. Perhaps if Zinkoff had not had two weeks to build up a good head of boredom, taking the test would not have occurred to him.

Hi,

Is it right to regard the bolded part in the above as "increase a lot of boredom?" Thanks.
