I dunno about you guys, but a layover (ie. not at home) feels kinda like "work" to me....especially if you are close to the max duty/min rest limits and double-especially if you're beholden to a hotel with limited food options.
Doesn't mean you can't enjoy your "rest", but it also doesn't mean you aren't "at work" either.

Each minute not spent at home is work in my eyes.
