This is set as one of other Work-Break Scheduling

Research papers have shown the importance of short, frequent breaks. Computer
users using microbreaks work with low intensity by short and frequenet
break. Microbreaks are short(60 ~ 180 sec) breaks that give users just
enough time to break with stretching, relax their muscles, and continue
working, with minimal disruption.
