A quarter of an hour: enough for a real chunk of progress without needing a long block of time.
Ready
Good for
Power nap
A 10–20 minute nap can restore alertness without leaving you groggy; 15 minutes is a safe middle.
Cleaning sprint
Pick one room and clean as much as possible before the alarm.
Stand-up meetings
Keep the daily stand-up inside its 15-minute box.
💡 For a nap, set the timer before you lie down and keep the volume up — phones in silent mode may not play the alarm.

Frequently asked questions
Is 15 minutes a good length for a nap?
Short naps of about 10–20 minutes are commonly recommended because they end before deep sleep, so you wake up more easily.
Can I pause and resume?
Yes. Pause keeps the exact remaining time until you press Resume.
