I had a two hour a day commute and it really made things difficult. Plus having to wake up extra early meant having to go to sleep extra early. So by the time I ended up getting home I had about only a few hours of time before I had to go to sleep. It ended up turning into never feeling like I had any time off during the week, as the moment I walked in the door I had to get things done before I had to go to sleep. I had absolutely no leisure time during the week. The stress from that eventually ended up negating the fact that I enjoyed my job so much.
