having worked from home quite a bit: though it can be very productive, it certainly comes with it's own set of downsides; - working from home, you'll never get "home from work". in the end, at least in my case, it caused me to work outside working working hours more often as my home became my office. - the occasional brainstorm with your colleauges becomes a chore resulting in skipping those and writing worse code / having more debate over code reviews. even though there are quite a few video conferencing applications around, brainstorm sessions tend to be more effective / productive while having a walk / a coffee / etc together (my $0.02). so yeah, when your work environment is the cause of burning you out, working from home is a short term solution, finding a better environment the long term one if you'd ask me
