study breaks
Academic session interruptions
Study breaks are short pauses taken during extended periods of studying or focused work.
The idea is that stepping away briefly—to stretch, snack, or scroll—helps maintain concentration and prevents burnout: I take study breaks every hour or so.
The term appears frequently in academic contexts, especially around exam periods.
