We also all have an ultradian rhythm, which regulates our energy on shorter cycles throughout the night and day. Essentially, every 90 minutes our minds go through a cycle from peak high alertness to low alertness. If you're working at your peak in the cycle, then you're most likely bei...
What happens if your circadian rhythm is out of whack? Without the proper signaling from the body's internal clock, a person can struggle to fall asleep, wake up during the night, or be unable to sleep as long as they want into the morning.Their total sleep can be reduced, and a disr...
You can do this by trying out thePomodoro techniqueor working in 52 to 90-minute intervals. The reason why these methods are effective is that they sync with your ultradian rhythm. Or, simply put, you work during energy peaks and break during lulls. You can then spend this downtime reflec...

The latter hypothesis is of particular relevance, as it would suggest that long-term targeted public-health interventions on these modifiable factors may provide a way to improve (i.e., shift up) an individual’s set-point in daytime alertness. ...
Such models have become widely adopted, and from this vast literature it is clear that the ultimate outcome of early-life stress depends on several aspects of the 'stressful' experience: its timing, quality, severity, and duration. Developmental stress may have long-lasting consequences for the ...
So when we do an ultradian rhythm, we’re basically toggling through these different brainwave states. What science has shown us is that meditation can actually help us move from a beta state, a really short frequency wave, to an alpha state, and then back down again. So if you want to...
This technique also supports what science has found as ourultradian rhythm– meaning the human brain can do about 90-120 minutes of focused work before experiencing a period of lower brain activity. What does this mean for you? Take those breaks! But in order not to overindulge, the Pomodoro...
In cycles.Most biological rhythms work in roughly 24-hour cycles. Others, such asmenstrual cycles, work over longer timeframes. Each type of biological rhythm has a certain name to show how long it lasts: Diurnal (night and day) Circadian (24 hours) ...
