I'm the forever DM and usually DM online games with 2 hour sessions, I pretty much never do 4 hours.

Soon I'll be DMing for a new group, and this time in person, we'll be able to do 4 hour sessions.

The problem: I've tried this before a few times, some people (including me) get overwhelmed, tired, and just want It to end. That's why we need to include a break in the middle so we can breath in some air, rest a little, but the break has it's own problems, the focus kinda drifts into doing something else, and sunddely we no longer feel like playing anymore.

So I need to figure out a way to handle break time so I can make sure everyone is rested and ready to go, while keeping enougth interest in the game.
