Yes, but I'm not sure the best way to structure them. There are many effective pausing models, I'll share four specifically and explain how they can be effective. Pomodoro MethodThis method is common for employees who are busy. The employee sets a timer for 25 minutes, when the timer rings he takes a 5 minute break. During the 5 minutes they can stretch, have a drink, etc. After the employee has taken 4 Pomodoro sessions, the employee is encouraged to take a longer break of approximately 30 minutes. Working in compact blocks of time helps the employee get rid of distractions and focus on their work (Seiter). 90 minute work blocks Do Anatomy and Physiology employees need more than 25 minutes of continuous work without breaks? Perhaps the 90 minute work block method would be more beneficial. In the 90-minute work block method, employees work continuously for 90 minutes, then rest for 20 minutes between work blocks. This sleep method copies our sleep cycles, discovered by William Dement and Nathan Kleitman. Dement and Kleitman found that our sleep cycles persist when we are awake. See Figure 2 – Life Waveform for illustration of our movement from higher to lower levels of alertness. Professor K. Anders Ericsson studied athletes, actors and chess players, finding that the best performers practiced in sessions of 90 minutes or less. The 90-minute method allows employees to focus on longer tasks, but still have a break between tasks
