I've been working from home for the last 9 months, and my experience has been that you have to be disciplined about working hours. Initially my sleep cycle (and therefore working hours) shifted by a couple of hours, so I'd get out of bed about 11am, and start work somewhere around 12, which effectively meant I had an hour before I stopped for lunch at 1, and then ended up working until 9 in the evening. If I were single I could probably be quite happy with that, but it meant I only really got a couple of hours with my wife before she went to bed. That alone gave me the motivation to get back into the habit of starting work at 9, and finishing between 5 and 7. I'll also second the comment by the person who said that it helps to have something planned for the evening, if only to force you into stopping work by that time.
