screen breaks
Digital device timeouts
Screen breaks are pauses taken from looking at a computer, phone, or other digital display.
The term appears in workplace wellness contexts and eye-care recommendations, where periodic screen breaks help reduce eye strain and fatigue: I try to take a screen break every twenty minutes.
Also called screen time breaks.
