Yes - and I have now for the past year, though it was a little different.
My advice is to find something you can do when you start your company that will make the year off worthwhile even if you get $0 in revenue - I've taught myself web design, iPhone programming, Facebook app development, Drupal, content organization, etc.
I also finished the 2nd Edition of Beginning Hibernate 3 for Apress, got engaged, and ran 15 marathons or ultramarathons in 2010, so even if this startup turns south, I'm really happy with the way the year is going.
