Start-ups fail for lots of reasons; burn-out being one of them. Start-ups are just high risk/reward jobs without many of the guarantees or safety nets that the traditional employer/employee relationship can provide. If you don't have your work life balance sorted out, then something will fail; be it your start-up, your relationships/marriage/family, or both. If you get to the point of burn out and it's a choice of either burn-out completely or - by taking a holiday - a failed start-up then you can't blame the holiday, I'd be looking at the original idea and/or the execution.
