My default mode is to work. On weekends, I work. After office hours, I work. Even if I don't have motivation, since working is all I know how to do, I keep on working. That's me, and since I limit the range of what I can do, I can work all the time. To your point, it's become my lifestyle.
But not everyone is like us. There will be bad days where motivation would be fickle and coding might not be the easiest thing to do. I think it wouldn't be that bad to take that break and let your mind rest a bit. I wouldn't call those days wasted days. Just down days.
