Expert Answer

Great question! Some of the above ideas for a study break don’t apply in a classroom setting, like taking a nap or even doing some exercise. However, a discreet meditation or some stretching might work. Be sure to let your teacher know you are taking a break and ask in what ways you can do so without distracting other students.

You should study for as long as you seem fit. Don't study for more that an hour without any break, though.

You could download an app called.Focus. If you spend all day on your phone, just download it. It helps you focus on your school work.

How can I take a study break if I'm not really interested in doing any activities on my phone?

Community Answer

There are plenty other things to do! You could take a shower, go for a walk, listen to some music, draw, paint, write in a journal, have a conversation with a friend or family member, etc.

Question

If I study for 2 to 3 hours without having a break, how long should my break be?

Community Answer

Your break should be for 30 or 45 minutes. During this break time, stretching and reading a book will help your brain relax after the long study time.
