Do you take short breaks from gaming?

[Alexander]

Do you take short breaks from gaming? For example, 20 minutes of rest every 4 hours? If you do, please tell me the duration of the breaks? How long do you game before stopping? What''s the longest you've gone without some form of rest period? Do you feel your health can be negatively impacted if you don't?

Gaming is mentally tiring. Just like with physical exercise, if you don't rest you will burn out.

It’s really hard to tell as I’m bad at keeping track of time. Usually I get tired after about 3 to 4 hours and call it a day. I usually game after dinner until I’m ready to go to sleep

Not necessarily gaming specific but I have started taking small breaks every 30 or 50 minutes each. And then I make sure to spend that small interval walking and also doing things which are not related to the work. I have been doing this for some time now. And it has managed to work out for me. I think people should take more breaks.

I go through phases. I'm either gaming all the time or none at all and will enjoy other hobbies for a while. Iv'e never been able to play for just and hour or so
