Rest is not reward for hard work, but both are components of success and life.... this stuck with me. We need rest to win.

My rest routine: After lunch, lock the office door, put out a sign declaring that I would be back an hour later, pull out the bed out of the closet, have a 30-40 minute siesta. It always works for me.
I'm a bit older than you Mirya so my bedtime is 8pm and I'm up around 5am. When I'm just stuck, or "over it", or it's after lunch, I stop and take a meditation break. Other times of the day taking a walk around the building or outside for 10 to 15 minutes when I just can't sit in front of the screen any longer, is a way to rest and then be ready to hop back into the work. And walk slowly back from classes to your office. Take in the day and don't rush.
