How often do you get burnt out from playing? Ways to stop it?

[Tornado69]

What's your limit and is there anything that some of you do to keep your mind focused ? I can play for probably a week - 10 days about 2 to 2 1/2 hrs a day before I need about the same amount of time for a break. I see all these people constantly playing 8 hrs a day 6 days a week and I'm wondering do you just deep down love the game, love the constant action, or are you just a miserable bastard who doesn't wanna get a job? :P. I would like to play double the amount I do and just wonder if anyone has some suggestions or is this pretty much just the type of person you are, a gambler/action freak? Is there different types of food you eat ? About 16 months ago I gave up red meat and started eating extremely healthy and feel this has made a bit of a difference but I'm still not playing as much as I should be.
