Work for 5 hours, then take a break, then work for another 5 hours...
Hi, everyone.
If I want to express 'I work for 5 hours and then take a break. After the break, I begin working again. And after five-hour work, I rest again. Over and over every day.'
Can I say
1. 'I alternate between five-hour work and a short break every day'
2. 'I work in five-hour intervals every day'
?
Thank you.

You can probably get away with saying both, but they are a little bit vague. It might be useful to say how long you work in total every day, and the intervals within it?
For example,
"I work a 16 hour shift every day. I alternate between five hours of work and a short break// I work in five hour intervals with a short break".
You could also say,
"I work for 16 hours, with a 15 minute break at regular intervals every five hours."
