is, when the kids gets sick during the middle of the night, and you get up two or three times to administer paracetamol, water, put the covers on, rescue one from a nightmare, let the dog out, fall asleep on the couch because getting to your bed means a further walk and you know you're going to have to get up again in a minute anyway, which you do, and then fall asleep next to a child with a dangerously high fever that just won't come down........

When the sun does come up, and you should be in your office working, checking email, checking stats, googling, you take a look at the computer and say, 'f..... that, I'm going to bed.'

It's harder to stay disciplined when life gives us challenges.  If I had to make it to the office, I would have made it to the shower, but oh well, it's just my home business, it can wait.

But, customers can't and won't wait.  So either get it really well automated, or dig deep, because life is going to go on whether you work at home or not.
