This timer is designed based on cognitive science research about attention, focus, and effective learning.
Why these presets?
Research shows optimal focus periods range from 25-90 minutes. The 25/5 "Pomodoro" technique works well for varied tasks, while 45-90 minute blocks suit deep work requiring sustained concentration.
Why are breaks important?
Studies show that during rest, your brain replays and consolidates what you just learned. Regular breaks prevent mental fatigue and maintain performance throughout longer study sessions.
Why ambient sound?
Lo-fi music (70-90 BPM) and nature sounds can improve focus by masking distracting noises and creating a consistent auditory environment. The key is predictable, lyric-free audio.
