Step 4

To introduce a time delay in the code, employ the time.sleep function. For instance, to pause for 2 hours before the YouTube video pops up, use time.sleep(2 * 60 * 60) where the value is in seconds.

Step 5

Implementing a repeated time loop with a total of 3 breaks, initialize variables total_break as 3 and break_count as 0. Utilize a while loop, and incorporate the time.ctime function to track the program's runtime.
Here is the output
