It seems to me that even when you are not at work you are still having an input which suggests that it might be more than work for you? If that is the case, then take holiday as and when you need it, I'm sure if it starts becoming excessive and there isn't an acceptable reason for it (meeting family in another country or a life changing experience vs. sitting at home watching tv) they will pull you up on it. Possibly slightly off topic.. I work at a UK startup-going-on-teenager. A few months I had an amazing opportunity to transport a 50m ex-minesweeper from Holland to Turkey, I booked off 3 weeks and came back 2 months later not expecting a job anymore. When I finally did get back, they were actually really forgiving and keen to get me back in to the office; I'm not sure if they need me in order to help support their planned growth, or because they are genuinely very laid back, other factors suggest the first. First 2 weeks being back were great, but once the novelty and the story telling had worn off and the day to day grind set back in I have experienced a great deal of resentment to the structure of the company; I think that being exposed to a great deal of personal freedom will break down any barriers that have been built and cause issues when you do finally go back.
