Memory consolidation and productivity can both be improved by taking breaks.

记忆力的增强和工作能力均可以通过休息来提高。

Memory consolidation:

增强记忆力：

Tambini et al. recently showed that resting your brain after learning is very important in memory consolidation. During rest the hippocampus is able to transfer information to the cortex to be stored. The brain cannot do this very effectively if you do not take breaks.

Tambini et al.最近表明学习之后让大脑休息对于巩固记忆力非常重要。休息期间海马体能把信息转移到大脑皮层储存起来。如果不休息大脑就不能有效完成这个过程。

Productivity

工作能力

It is suggested that you work in 60-90 minute intervals and then take a break. Ericsson et al. conducted a very interesting study looking at elite and average violin players and how much they practiced. They found that the elite players practiced for about the same amount of time as the good players per day. However, the elite players would practice very hard for no more than 90 minutes and then take breaks and even naps in between while the average players would practice throughout the day but with less focus.

建议你每工作60-90分钟就休息一会儿。Ericsson et al.进行了一个非常有趣的研究，他观察了优秀的和普通的小提琴演奏家以及他们练习的多少，发现优秀的演奏家和普通的演奏者每天练习的总时间是一样的，但优秀的演奏家勤奋练习的时间不超过90分钟，然后就会休息甚至睡一会再练，而普通的演奏者整天不间断练习，但注意力却不够集中。
