The mind's rhythm
The following is from "Science Frontiers", but I was a little surprised that the sleep cycle of 90 minutes is not mentioned in which deeper and REM sleep alternate. From actual graphs that I have seen, the average length of the cycle is more like 85 minutes, consistent with a whole range of astronomical cycles and the 83 light minute spacing of the outer planets.
"Observations of individuals undergoing hypnosis suggest that intervals of particular susceptibility come along about every 90 minutes. Expert hypnotherapists are cognizant of this psychophysical cycle and often wait for it to appear. By closely watching the subject's swallowing, eye-blinking, respiration, etc., the hynotizer can take advantage of these periods of heightened susceptibility.
(Rossi, Ernest L.; "Hypnosis and Ultradian Cycles: A New State(s) Theory of Hypnosis?" American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis, 25:21, 1982.)
Comment. The reason for this 90-minute rhythm and the control system behind it are obscure."

Wobbly Universe
Blog of Ray Tomes research on cycles, news reports on cycles, my original research on the Harmonics Theory and discussion of these matters.
There are cycles in everything. There are cycles in the weather, the economy, the sun, wars, geological formations, atomic vibrations, climate, human moods, the motions of the planets, populations of animals, the occurrence of diseases, the prices of commodities and shares and the large scale structure of the universe. None of these are independent of each other.
Research shows that very different disciplines often find the same cycle periods in their data. The inter-relatedness of all things is an idea who's time has come. The study of cycles is an excellent way to understand this because the periods of cycles are as easy to recognise as fingerprints or DNA sequences.
"The universe, believe it or not, is nothing other than a giant musical instrument with a very special but predictable pattern of harmonically related oscillations which determine the structure of everything from galactic clusters to subatomic particles and we are just parts of the various vibration modes."
The single axiom of the Harmonics Theory is that:
The Universe consists of a standing wave which develops harmonically related standing waves and each of these does the same.
