Thank you for posting this. I have a 'cave' in the form of a 230sf office that I rent near my house (due to a shortage of space in our Portland townhouse). It's a sanctuary that is my own where I do my work. Without it, I wouldn't be able to do my job and keep my sanity. The part about your couch was really validating - the need to de-stress in the middle of the day and watch some Netflix from the couch is something I intend to start doing more.
