To toss in an "It Depends"...

...you have to keep the time to solution in perspective. .... There's a balance though. Sometimes I'll take a problem home with me and work it in my own time, trying to get down to the nuts and bolts after slapping the band-aids on at work. .

If I have to take a problem home and spend my own personal time on it (which I have done in the past myself) to offset the time spent at work to figure it out, I don't really call that a "balance". I call that an "offset", because to solve the issue I am working on my own dime for free for the company to figure it out. Not to say that there is anything wrong with that per-say. It's a individual choice, and I know many people who have done it. I just don't happen to think that is a "balance" though.

And what if, despite what your rational mind says, you can't even leave the problem alone when you're asleep?
Yes, it happens to me sometimes. I once wrote a blog-post on the subject 'I could do it in my sleep' ( http://www.simple-talk.com/community/blogs/philfactor/archive/2006/02/23/Somnia.aspx )

Drink more. Kamakaze's made with Belvedere are a personal preference.
