During the 5-minute break, you should definitely go to the toilet, grab a snack, or drink something, but you should only do this occasionally when needed, and the rest of the time you should do more useful things.The problem with being distracted by something is that it can drag on until the gaming session is resumed. For example, a video is longer than 5 minutes and you are very interested, so you continue watching it, distracting yourself from the game. Or information from the news is so captivating that it will scroll through your mind, influencing the thought process during the session.

I try to use my break as effective as possible. Every break going to bathroom, get a snack/drink and ideally do some quick stretching :)

Unfortunately, I don't have any pets

I clean my glasses with a napkin, drink water, wash my hands, feed the cat. Sometimes I even have time for a meal. I don't do all these things in 5 minutes, of course, but I manage to do 2-3 things. ;)

During the break, I can sometimes go and get a drink, but more often I use the 5-minute break to find an interesting video on YouTube. I love documentaries about our planet.
nice break;)👍

Break is not long enough . I think it should be more , at least 7 minutes , why not 10 minutes . 5 minutes is not enough . And it's irritating when the break begins even when playing is not over in some tables , that happens at replay poker

I'm brewing a big mug of tea with milk and without sugar... a little workout while it's brewing and looking out the window from the 8th floor into the distance to relax my eyes... I'm also scratching my Labrador)))

5 minutes is not such a long time, but during this time I learned to do many things, go to the toilet or take a shower, and what do you do in the break?
I use the 5-minute break to lie down on the sofa and smoke a cigarette. Sometimes it can be hard to sit in a chair for a long time, and even 5 minutes on the couch helps me to hold out in long tournaments.
