I would if I can. Haven't done it yet as it would result into going on leave for a long period of time without pay which I could not afford to happen. But if it helps you healthwise, then go for it. What's your company's policy on sabbaticals by the way?

I have a friend (early 50s) that took a 3 month sabbatical last year. He travelled extensively and had a great time. If you can take one, If you have the means to take one, i would.

Life is short…
