Why are humans designed to take breaks?

I find that whenever I have been productive for more than a few hours, I get a desire to withdraw and suspend whatever activity I happen to be doing that day or hour, and I do not know why our body is designed to rest, even when the activity we are dong is not stressful or high intensity in nature or form, is this because the brain wants to process and form new neural connections based on the previous activity and you have to withdraw so that these unconscious processes can begin to align and order themselves in your brain?

I think this has more to do with our brains not evolving to adapt to this current environment. Our brains tend to reward us more when we do things that it has adapted to do. So anything the brain is either indifferent to or averse to will not stimulate the same positive chemicals, making us want to do something more stimulating or fun even if we don't know it.

That's how humans evolved, after hard work, humans need to rest, no human can work all the time. Besides, humans also need to have fun, and many other activities.
