Ultradian Rhythm Work Cycles

Meaning

Ultradian Rhythm Work Cycles are structured periods of focused mental or physical activity interspersed with deliberate recovery breaks, aligned with the body’s natural, recurring biological cycles shorter than 24 hours. These cycles, typically lasting approximately 90 to 120 minutes, reflect the brain’s oscillation between high-frequency (active) and lower-frequency (rest/processing) states. Adopting these cycles is a strategy for sustaining high-quality output and preventing cognitive depletion over the course of a workday.
