About this timer
Often quoted as the "NASA nap": in a study of long-haul pilots, a planned rest with about 26 minutes of sleep on average left them more alert. Add a few minutes if you need time to fall asleep.
Long enough for real work, short enough that you can hold your attention for the whole stretch. Study blocks, cooking stages, meetings with a firm end, and workouts all land here. The timer counts down from the moment you press start, not from when the tab was last visible.
