study break
Cramming session intermission
A study break is a pause taken during a period of studying to rest, refresh, or do something enjoyable.
The term implies returning to work afterward—a temporary interruption rather than stopping entirely: I'm taking a study break to grab coffee.
Study breaks are common during exam periods, when students need mental relief from sustained concentration.
