Making breaks part of your day.

Notice your attention

When you repeatedly reread a line or feel uncomfortable, it may be time to pause. Choose a break schedule that fits your responsibilities rather than forcing a universal rule.

Change the activity

Stand if comfortable, look away from the screen, or take a short walk in an appropriate place. A break need not become another task to optimize.

Keep expectations realistic

Rest supports everyday comfort, but it is not a treatment for persistent symptoms. If fatigue, pain, or sleep problems continue, speak with a healthcare professional.
