Long study hours without breaks can reduce energy and focus. Short breaks help refresh the brain, improve memory, and recharge motivation. Effective break activities include stretching to relieve stiffness and improve blood flow, stepping outside for fresh air to reduce stress and boost creativity, and listening to soothing or upbeat music to lift mood and reset mental state. Mindful breathing lowers stress and enhances concentration. Nutritious snacks like fruits, nuts, or yoghurt provide energy without sugar crashes. Engaging in creative hobbies such as drawing, journaling, or puzzles can reset the mind and improve mood. Additionally, a 15–20 minute nap restores energy, alertness, and memory, especially during long study sessions. Choosing suitable breaks helps maintain balanced energy and sharper focus during study periods. (Updated 25 Aug 2025, 13:13 IST; source: link)
