A 2008 University of Illinois study showed that being tethered to your desk for long hours can actually reduce your productivity, while regular short breaks help to keep you focused and energized.
What's more, numerous studies suggest that sitting at desk for a long time can be detrimental to health. It is also known that extended periods of inactivity are associated with obesity, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and a higher overall risk of death. Until recently, experts believed that this risk could be offset by regular, vigorous exercise.
However, research by Swedish sports scientist Dr Elin Ekblom-Bak, published in 2010, shows that, while exercise is vital for good health, only regular breaks from your desk (known as Pomodoro Technique)can reduce these health risks.
Pomodoro Technique is a simple method that improves productivity and protects one's health by encouraging the person concerned to schedule regular short breaks into his day.
The Pomodoro Technique was developed by Francesco Cirillo in the 1980s. His best-sellingbook of the same name was updated and revised in 2013.
"Pomodoro" is Italian for tomato. The technique works by getting one to structure his work in 25-minute sessions, each separated by a short break. Cirillo took the name from the tomato-shaped kitchen timer that he used to manage his time as a university student.

I have stated that (drugs) addiction may turn to be fatal. It may at times improve concentration but at the cost of future heavy loss, both mental and physical. Doing Yoga (addiction so to say) as a habit is wonderful. But I am referring to only Dnyanmudra and Shavasana that help relax our body and mind. In Dnyanmudra place a mind on the pulse of a thumb sitting in a squatted posture, even 40 seconds feeling (concentration on) the pulse is difficult, next moment some thought peeps in the feeling goes away, whereas in Shawsana one has to lie down on back, relaxing all body organs, and placing sequencing mind on different organs, feeling the mind movement in a systematic way from say tow then fingers, knee, laps, heart, shoulders to head top. It is an attempt to reach to like a dead body state. In both the cases breath movement plays a key role.I have been practicing these postures. For example, if I am feeling pain in legs, sit on the chair, let the legs touch the ground, and let the mind travel from tow to hips along with the realization of breathing movement. Within 3-5 minutes one gets relaxed. There are different posture more than 80, Mudra and Bandhas.One has to be selective for such postures and to perform them for a few minutes say 30 minutes daily at the appointed hours and place forming a habit. Now this habit becomes your nature and knowing or unknowingly you turn to your schedule. Is it a sort of addiction, let me allow to say so, but certainly positive.

Dear All,Some thing is terribly wrong here! It is a myth that smoking/chewing(tobacco) or drugs will enhance brain power! They do exactly opposite effect!! All these drugs will destroy brain cells and have adverse effect on brain power.Aphethamine derivatives(like adderall) do enhance wakefulness and improves one's concentration, however, they also have more side effects than it is usefullness for normal people. They will be good for people with psycho-neurological problem, where it reduces their excess behaviour and help caretakers to manage them well. Opium was wonder drug once upon a time for many pain and sleep related illnesses, but not nowadays.Addiction is a disorder and it does not have any positive benefits. it disturbs one's peace of mind, wellbeing and performance or may be others (like gambling, here, addict does not feel disturbed, but his family goes through the impact).Yoga does not have an addictive property! Even if you practice 10 hours a day (here, 10 hour practitioner may have some other issues like compulsive behaviours, which is unlikely!!)A short nap or relaxation does wonder in performance enhancement.Let us always be in the mode of critical thinkingRegards,Prof. Vijendra Kumar S.K.Assistant Professor & Counseling PsychologistPES Center for Counseling and Career GuidancePES Universitywaghodekar@rediffmail.com> wrote:

I have come across many students smoking/chewing something like tobacco while working at night especially on PCs that promote their concentration, less fatigue prone. Addiction gives a sort of strength or a tedency to our brain (neurons/ nervous system) and material of body. This turns to be a habit. After all, neurons and body material are just materials subjected to their own behavioral pattern called habits which can be changed with little bit mindful extra physical effort.Addiction may lead to a permanent behavioral pattern, later hard to change. Hence one has to be wary before turning to be addicted. Some addictions may lead to fatal end. Drug addiction is of this category affecting adversely both mental and physical power. A few decades ago, it was a practice to give a very small dose of opium to a kid so that it can be in a addicted state, sleeping making mother free, but it affects the mental power of kid making it dull!Nap is not an addiction. It is relaxation, stopping all actions,remaining still, in a peaceful, thoughtless state, energizing oneself, drawing mind inwardly. Nap is a sort of productivity improvement tool. Dnyanmudra, Shavasan are other tools that provide relaxation to human organs. But napping while on actual operating a job is dangerous to man, machine and environment.

--told newspaper reportersthat, as someone who has worked with clients from Apple, Twitter, Facebook, Google and Yahoo, he can attest that the Silicon Valley drug problem is real. And it's "a lot worse than what people think because it's all covered up so well."Do you support the employees should be allowed to have few minutes nap at the work place as research suggests that event 10 minutes nap can enhance the performance manifold.
