Interrupts rest periods (6)

I believe the answer is:

breaks

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'interrupts' is the first definition.
(breaking is a kind of interrupting)

'rest periods' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for breaks that I've seen before include "Rest periods" , "stretches between lessons" , "Snooker scores" , "Knocks into pieces" , "Fractures or splits" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent and The Globe and Mail.
