A recent survey by the Pew Research Center found that 61 percent of current Facebook users admitted to taking voluntary breaks from the site. Reasons for a hiatus from the most popular social network in America include: a decrease in interest in the site; not having enough time to dedicate to updating and polishing their profiles; and the general idea that Facebook is simply a waste of time.
