Startups are difficult, and a 10-year run at any company in the startup space is an eternity! No wonder you feel burned out, especially if you feel the company is not going in a direction that gets you excited to get out of bed in the morning. I never took a sabbatical, but having run my own startup, I'm guessing your team probably feels your energy and won't be surprised if you asked for time off. Why not try something small at first -- 4 weeks, maybe -- and see if you can get some clarity about what you want to do next? Good luck!
