SPM trial exams, uni finals, assignments due at midnight… Students in Klang know the grind. But your brain needs breaks to work well. Here’s how to take a good one, with a treat.
Why breaks help you study
Many study techniques, like the Pomodoro method (25 minutes of focus, 5 minutes of rest, with a longer break after four rounds), build breaks in on purpose. Stepping away helps you reset your focus, move your body and come back fresher.
How to take a good study break
- Move. Walk, stretch, get outside.
- Leave the screen. Scrolling isn’t resting.
- Have a small treat as a reward for finishing a chapter.
- Drink water.
- Set a time limit, then return.
A short trip for soft serve ticks moving, leaving the screen and a reward all at once.
Study break orders
| Situation | Order |
|---|---|
| Afternoon slump | Cold Brew Cloud. See Cold Brew Cloud |

| Evening, want to sleep later | Royal Chocolate or Sarsaparilla Cloud |
Coffee or no coffee?
Caffeine can help alertness, but too much late in the day can affect sleep, and sleep matters for memory. Have coffee earlier, and choose caffeine-free options in the evening. Teas naturally contain some caffeine too. See Non-Caffeine Drinks and the Coffee Menu Guide.
Keep sugar in check
Choose less sugar in drinks if you’re having soft serve too. See How to Customise Your Drink.
