Ditto. I just graduated (December 2009) with my Master's and I'm going back for my PhD in Fall 2010. So I get 8 months. I took no time off after undergrad. This wasn't originally in the plan, but I'm glad it worked out this way. I'm burnt out after my MA and I think having 8 months off will help me be fresh and focused when I start again. Even though I need this recooperation time now, I don't regret going straight through after undergrad (though I do regret the school I chose).
I was always afraid to take a year off, thinking I might not go back. But honestly, it depends on you. If you want this degree, you'll do your best to go back no matter what's come up or how long it's been. There may be things in your life that make it seem impossible, but you'll either work around them or wait till you're in a better place.
