The Science of 90-Minute Cycles
28:04 - 34:51 (06:47)
The 90-minute cycles that control our sleep and wakefulness can also affect our ability to focus and perform work due to the release of acetylcholine, dopamine and norepinephrine. Training ourselves to work in 90-minute intervals can lead to improved productivity and focus.
