With people I personally know (so I know it's anecdotal), it's mostly going away from the family (or just changing the physical environment) for work, and stuff like lunches with other people. Having your direct teammates with you doesn't matter as much, as not having screaming kids around you, someone to talk to during lunch and the easier mental switch, to move to "work mode" when you come into office, and back to "non-work mode" when you leave.
