For me it has to be a yes and no. For context, I'm a robotics researcher, so lot of my work is exploratory in nature. Yes, my work output has improved significantly. As another user mentioned here, having to not commute is a huge benefit. I start working at about 10AM, without feeling tired/exhausted groggy. Because of this, I can use precious early hours to focus completely on my research, rather than wasting them on morning commutes. This has led me to achieve better results and develop new models for my research. The bad side of it is (again as another user mentioned) I tend to work longer hours. The lines between work, rest and play are really blurry now. Since I don't have a family to take care of etc this isn't much of a problem but it has taken a toll on me now. I read fewer books, something that I love, and spend less time doing things that I like. So, yes it has been a boon in a way, but also bane. Hope this answers your question!
