I slept in an apartment above my office in London for two nights a week over four years, commuting from York (3 hours door-to-door).
Each week I spent the three days in the office working very long hours, and then had a nice relaxing couple of days at home, working a bit but also being a very active dad, since my wife did everything with the kids whilst I was away.
This worked really well for us. Now my wife is doing the same and working in London 3 days a week. Still working well.
Free time when you’re at work just gets shifted to when you’re at home.
