Default worklife balance as a reason for leaving

I am asked for the reason for leaving my current job to join another company. The job scope is similar for both positions but I heard that the working hours may be better. Prospects, prestige, pay-wise etc both companies are similar with roughly similar opportunities. In fact my existing company may be better.

Is it appropriate to cite "worklife balance" when I am asked abt my reason for leaving or are there better ways to say the same in a more positive manner? I don't want to give the impression that I am a slacker though I am hoping to take on a less stressful job. I am female single, 26 with no kids so I can't say that I want to focus on my family.

Grateful for any advice!
