I've done it a few times, and am doing it now. Just make sure you have a plan and a realistic idea about what getting that next job would look like. The plan doesn't need to be very detailed but should include a realistic idea of when you would NEED to become employed again, and what you want to accomplish in the time off. That could be "I want to play video games for 3 months straight". It doesn't really matter as long as you don't finish your sabbatical wishing you would have done something else. The entire point is to reset your mental health, or to simply live life as though you didn't HAVE to work for a living. Generally speaking people work because they have to, there's nothing wrong with simply not wanting to do it for a while. I think if you don't know what you'd do, there's a chance you'll end up regretting it. But there's also a chance you realize there's a ton of life you aren't living, and find ways to reconnect with it.
