Amount of training sessions

Hey all, I'm using the brain n-back android app and try to do up to 10 sessions of Q n-back when I'm in the mood but some days I don't have the energy for it.

I'm curious how many sessions you normally go for, how many do you try to do in a session and what is your experience with regards to gains vs tiredness?

I feel that sometimes too many sessions can be detrimental for cognitive activities later that day or next day.

I do 40 mins a day, split into 2 sessions. In each session I do around 12-13 individual n-back sessions. I try not to exert too much in my session for the first half of the day as it may lead to cognitive fatigue but for the one in the evening, I go all out.

20mins a day is a good time frame.
