This timer is based on research from [Peretz Lavie] 2 on "ultradian rhythms" which matches our human's natural attention rythm and break requirements.
The concept is based on having a longer work session (typically around 90 minutes) followed by shorter break sessions (around 15 minutes).
The Ultradian Timer is a simple HTML5/Javascript script that produces an adjustable timer intended to follow the Ultradian Rythms in order to improve productivity for any given activity on any given workday.
When the countdowns reached 0, an alarm will ring
