× Yes I do, especially when after long studying I find that I usually lose my energy to do everything, so I think that feeling tired is quite frequent to me.
✓ Yes, I do. Especially after long periods of studying, I usually lose my energy to do anything, so I think feeling tired is quite common for me.
The original sentence has run-on structure and awkward expressions. 'After long studying' is unidiomatic; use 'after long periods of studying'. 'Lose my energy to do everything' is unnatural; 'lose my energy to do anything' or 'lose the energy to do things' is better. 'Quite frequent to me' is incorrect collocation; use 'quite common for me'. Also needed commas and sentence split for clarity. Suggestion: break long sentences into shorter ones, use natural collocations, and place commas after introductory elements.
× I usually feel tired up to long studying periods.
✓ I usually feel tired after long periods of studying.
The phrase 'up to long studying periods' misuses the preposition 'up to'. The usual preposition is 'after' when referring to tiredness following activity. Also reordering to 'long periods of studying' is the natural noun phrase. Suggestion: use 'after' to indicate subsequent state and place 'periods of studying' in correct order.
× After that I need a long relaxation periods to gain my energy that I had lost when I studied.
✓ After that, I need a long period of relaxation to regain the energy I lost while studying.
There is a number/article mismatch: 'a long relaxation periods' mixes singular article 'a' with plural 'periods'. Use either 'a long period of relaxation' (singular) or 'long periods of relaxation' (plural). Also 'gain my energy that I had lost' is wordy and tense-mismatched; 'regain the energy I lost' is clearer. Use 'while studying' for natural time expression.
× When I feel tired, I usually lie on my bed and maybe take a short sleep or use my phone as a way to relax.
✓ When I feel tired, I usually lie on my bed, maybe take a short nap, or use my phone to relax.
'Take a short sleep' is not the common collocation in English; use 'take a short nap' or 'sleep briefly'. 'Use my phone as a way to relax' is wordy; 'use my phone to relax' is more natural. Also add commas in a list. Suggestion: prefer established collocations like 'take a nap' and concise infinitive constructions ('to relax').
