How often do you take an extended break from the game?

[Ray Of Light]

I love poker. I love the challenge of the game.

But every 5 weeks or so, of playing everyday (I play at least 2 hours a day, usually a lot more), I get sick of the game.

It doesn't matter if I am on a winning streak or a losing one, I simply lose all motivation to play.

Taking regular breaks from the game, I understand now, is an essential part of being a long term winning player.

So now I schedule one week off from poker out of every 6 week cycle.

What about you, do you take regular extended breaks from the game? Or do you simply play as often as possible? And do you (like me) sometimes feel guilty about not playing (this golden age won't last forever, so I need to take full advantage whilst I can)?
