afternoon break

Post-lunch rest period

A short rest period taken during the afternoon, typically in a workplace or school setting.

The afternoon break often falls between lunch and the end of the day, offering a chance to stretch, get coffee, or briefly step away from tasks: I'll call you back after my afternoon break.
