			It is highly recommended to adapt to the schedule in advance before travelling, which may take 1 to 2 months.

Travelling on a polyphasic schedule is tricky, though it's generally achievable with sufficient preparation. However, the level of difficulty is largely dependent on the specific schedule being followed and, crucially, how much the timezone changes.

=== Dealing with time zones ===
The main challenge of travelling is adjusting to a new time zone. The bigger the change, the tougher it can be to handle. Here are the main ways to deal with a time zone switch:

==== Stick to the home schedule ====
This is often the best way to go. When you arrive, you'll sleep earlier or later according to the local clock, but the goal is to keep your body's actual sleep times the same. The main benefit is that you won't have to physically shift your sleep pattern, so your adaptation shouldn't be too affected. This is a good choice if the time zone change is minor, like 2-3 hours.

However, if it's a massive shift (like 12 hours), this route gets much harder because you'd be trying to sleep when it's daytime locally and stay awake through the night. In that situation, you'll need to create an artificial [[dark period]] (making your environment dark to simulate nighttime).

==== Shift Your Schedule to Match the New Timezone ====
Another option is to shift your sleep times to match the new local time. So, if your nap was at 11 am back home, it's still at 11 am in the new place. The main issue here is that the circadian rhythm has to adjust, and the more it adjusts, the more the adaptation might take a hit.

If you're still adapting, it is important to stick to the schedule, which is why many people wait until after they travel to start adapting. If you decide to shift your schedule during your trip, you might find it hard to fall asleep quickly in the new time zone, and your schedule could become unstable. It's usually best to avoid this unless you don't have other choices.

==== Return to monophasic sleep for the duration of the trip ====
If the time zone is rotated too far, this might be the best option. This would cause the adaptation to be set back in most cases, and it would be necessary to start over when you get back.

=== Which schedules work best for travel ===
How difficult it is to handle switching time zones depends largely on which schedule you follow.

==== Toughest schedules to travel ====
The schedules that are least suitable for travelling are mainly the schedules with long [[core]] sleeps at night, and asymmetric schedules in general.
