Taking short breaks of a few seconds or minutes throughout your day will give you more energy and improve your well-being, according to new research on the benefits of these so-called micro-breaks.

A micro-break means anything from a few seconds to up to 10 minutes, and can reduce your fatigue and boost your energy levels, says Patricia Albulescu and her team from the Western University of Timisoara in Romania.
