	Dymaxion shares a lot of similarities to Uberman, including extreme difficulty and very low flexibility. Like with Uberman all of the [[wikipedia:Slow-wave_sleep\|SWS]] and [[wikipedia:Rapid_eye_movement_sleep\|REM]] must come from naps on this schedule, so the amount of SWS and REM in proportion to [[wikipedia:Non-rapid_eye_movement_sleep\|light sleep]] is very high. Dymaxion still tends to be less popular than Uberman.		Dymaxion shares a lot of similarities to Uberman, including extreme difficulty and very low flexibility.

	SWS wakes in naps may cause difficulty hearing alarms, which may directly cause oversleeps, even without consciously deciding to. It is also much more tempting to go back to sleep after an SWS wake, even if you do wake up. Naps ending in SWS are less likely to produce dream recall, which may be unsatisfying to some.

	Dymaxion 6 resembles the structure of Uberman, with the difference being its 30-minute naps instead of 20-minute ones. As with regular Dymaxion, these naps can lead to SWS wakes and may introduce difficulties early in the adaptation, though likely not an issue by the middle of the adaptation. A few people have been able to adapt to this variation, and it suffers the same inconvenient scheduling as Uberman. Though it has substantially more total sleep than regular Uberman or Dymaxion, it is still a difficult schedule. It has the same problems as other nap-only schedules, like extreme rigidity and potential negative health impacts.

Dymaxion still tends to be less popular than Uberman.

	Difficulty-wise Dymaxion is likely harder than Uberman. Because of the larger gap between naps (5h30m compared to 3h40m), sustaining wakefulness will be more difficult than on Uberman. Since SWS usually begins by the 25-minute mark, naps will contain SWS right from the start, which may cause SWS wakes as soon early on. However, this matters little overall, as overcoming the SWS rebound is necessary in order to adapt to either schedule.		Difficulty-wise Dymaxion is likely harder than Uberman.

	== Origin ==		== Origin ==
	Dymaxion ~~(often referred to as Dymax), is the first and original polyphasic schedule in the "-maxion" family. It~~ was created by [[Buckminster Fuller]], in the 1930s, who ~~reportedly~~ slept on this ~~schedule for most of the time between '''~~1932 and 1933~~'''~~. Dymaxion ~~stands for~~ ‘dynamic maximum ~~tension’~~ and ~~Fuller~~ applied ~~this word~~ to many other inventions of his~~, including a house, a car, and a map~~. Fuller ~~reported~~ that "2 hours of sleep per day is plenty", ~~which may insinuate at his sky-high motivation to live a life of~~ an ~~inventor who is willing to spend as little time on sleep as possible~~.		Dymaxion was created by [[Buckminster Fuller]] in the 1930s who slept this way in 1932 and 1933. "Dymaxion" is a made up from ‘dynamic', 'maximum' and 'tension', which was also applied to many other inventions of his. Fuller stated that "2 hours of sleep per day is plenty", claiming no ill effect from such an intense schedule.

	~~With~~ Dymaxion ~~being one of the most advanced~~ polyphasic ~~schedules that shape the definition~~, ~~usage and legend of polyphasic sleep practice, together with~~ [[Uberman]], it ~~also attracts several~~ attempts over the course of decades. Recently, its formation also spurred the inspiration for 2 "-maxion" schedules ('''Bimaxion and [[Trimaxion]]''') that take on the mantle of the original 30m [[naps]] in Dymaxion and posing as easier equivalents. The 30m naps are also sometimes referred to as "'''Dymaxion naps'''" due to how intense they are for a polyphasic adaptation.		Dymaxion is a widely known polyphasic schedule, second only to [[Uberman]]. As such, it has attracted many attempts over the years.
	== Adaptation ==		== Adaptation ==
	~~Currently~~ there are 2 methods to ~~adapt~~ to Dymaxion~~. Each of them has pros~~ and ~~cons, but successful adaptations remain very rare~~.		As with other schedules, there are a few different adaptation methods. However, adaptation to this schedule is extremely hostile, likely greater than even Uberman due to its longer gaps. The difficulties in adapting to Uberman is also present in Dymaxion, and it is advised that beginners do not attempt the schedule.

	[[File:Trimaxion.png\|thumb\|Trimaxion\|alt=]]The idea behind this [[gradual transition]] is to start an adaptation to either Trimaxion or Bimaxion first, and then remove a core sleep one step at a time to finally reach Dymaxion. The distribution of sleeps from these 2 schedules resemble Dymaxion's sleep placement. Starting from Bimaxion, one [[Cores\|core]] is shortened to 30 m after adapting to the previous schedule until every sleep block is 30 m long. This approach suffers from the same issues as the gradual adaptation to Uberman. However, both of these schedules are already known to be very difficult to adapt to, and it can take a very long period of time to reach Dymaxion, and the Dymaxion adaptation can still fail.

	So far all successful Dymaxion attempts stem from this method. For mutant sleepers or insomniacs, they can dive into Dymaxion directly.
