Over the years, dozens of re- searchers have discovered that this cycle, called ultradian, or \daily rhythm - involves 90 minutes of activity followed by 20 minutes of rest and re- cuperation. Every hour and a half or two our body sends us signals to take a break,\ said Ernest Rossi, Ph.D., author of The 20 -Minute Break, who has studied these rhythms for decades. Tips on when to Take -a -Break * Feeling a need to stretch or move around * Yawning or sighing * Finding yourself hesitating and procrastinating, unable to continue working * Noticing your body getting tense or fatigued * Pangs of hunger * Feeling \spaced out\ your concentration is poor, your mind wanders * Feeling depressed or emo- tionally vulnerable Being distracted by fan- tasies * Slight memory problems: forgetting words on the tip of my tongue . *Making careless errors in typing or counting * Sharp drop in performance and output, feeling a need to stretch or move around.
