I work remotely and have a regular sleep/work schedule and regular work responsibilities. If your prioritize these things, and choose the company you work with carefully, you can have a work/life balance while working from home.

Balance is the key. I worked in the office, then at home, back to the office and now I'm 100% from home. The first time I worked at home I worked WAY too much. Going back to the office was so nice. I hated the commute, but I loved leaving work at work. After going back and forth, this 2nd round of working from home is great. No commute and I rarely get sucked back into working hours that I normally wouldn't. It takes some discipline to keep a balance.
