But after those focus bouts , we really need to deliberately decompress . And of course , the ultimate decompress the time in which we are not directing our thinking and our action is during sleep . And so it's no wonder where I should say it holds together logically that that deep long lasting duration of not controlling where our mind is at is in fact the ultimate form of restoration , even if we have very intense dreams .
It doesn't have to be the full 90 minutes , but trying to push yourself to be able to drop into two hours of focus or three hours of focus while possible is not really in line with what we know about the underlying biology , everything from our sleep states or the different stages of sleep . And our waking states is divided into these 90 minute cycles or so called trade in cycles . So , what I like to do is set a timer for 90 minutes .

So take that period after each 90 minute or less focus bout , right ?
Ok . It doesn't have to be the full 90 minutes , but trying to push yourself to be able to drop into two hours of focus or three hours of focus while possible is not really in line with what we know about the underlying biology , everything from our sleep states or the different stages of sleep .

Your brain is a glutton with respect to caloric need . So , understand that at the end of 90 minutes or maybe even after 45 minutes , you might feel rather tired or even exhausted . And it's very important that after about to focus , that you take at least 10 minutes .
