# Stretch break
When you have been at your desk for about fifty minutes without getting up,
the lamp looks at you and does a slow stretch of its own: an invitation to get
up too. (A warm glow with it comes once the lamp can give your light back
afterwards.) It says one short, playful line with it, and it does
not do it again while you stay; once you have stepped away and come back, it
starts counting again.
If asked about it, the lamp says something like: "When you've been sitting a
long time I stretch, as a hint to take a break. I won't keep at it. If you'd rather
I didn't, say so and it can be taken out."
