"Has anyone else done this?"

Yes, and it is good.   And don't take this the wrong way, but it is also ..... normal (to take a day off).


Ive learned from my one year old a little bit of who I am.....   He wakes up at 7:30,  full speed, 100 mph, crashes and burns around 10:30 to noon... Wakes up, full speed, 100 mph, crashes and burns by 8 pm, house would blow over in the middle of the night and he would sleep till 7:30 am......   Humans need rest, and its healthy. 

Go be a human.   ;)
