	Trimaxion is a [[Template:Polyphasic Sleep Schedules\|schedule]] that combines elements of [[Everyman]] and [[Dymaxion]]~~. Trimaxion (often referred~~ to as ~~Trimax), is~~ a ~~polyphasic pattern~~ of ~~the '''"-maxion" family'''~~. ~~It is the third scheduling sequence from the original Dymaxion sleep~~.<ref name="reddit" />		'''Trimaxion''' (sometimes known as "Trimax") is a [[Template:Polyphasic Sleep Schedules\|schedule]] that combines elements of [[Everyman]] and [[Dymaxion]], proposed to be used as a part of a [[gradual adaptation]] to Dymaxion. Trimaxion .<ref name="reddit" />

	==Mechanism==		==Mechanism==
	Trimaxion is designed as a transitional schedule for ~~a [[gradual adaptation]] route to~~ Dymaxion, as well as a fallback schedule after Dymaxion ~~becomes no longer sustainable~~.		{{see\|Everyman#Mechanism}}
			Trimaxion is designed as a transitional schedule for gradually adapting Dymaxion, as well as to provide a fallback schedule after Dymaxion fails. As a part of this transition, Trimaxion replaces the dawn core in [[Bimaxion]] with a 30-minute nap, reducing the total sleep to only 3 hours per day.

	~~As with the use~~ of ~~2 Dymaxion naps in Bimaxion~~, ~~there is~~ a ~~total of 3 Dymaxion naps in Trimaxion (3 naps = "tri")~~. Trimaxion ~~is designed~~ with the ~~intent of~~ the ~~second, and '''~~final ~~transition step''' before~~ Dymaxion~~, where there are no more core sleeps and only 4 naps of 30 m long~~. ~~Starting with Bimaxion with 2 core sleeps~~, Trimaxion ~~now replaces~~ the ~~dawn~~ core ~~of Bimaxion with a mere 30 m nap and there~~ is ~~only one core sleep remaining. As a result of this reduction~~, ~~Trimaxion gives a chilling total~~ sleep ~~of only 3 hours each day. Overall, it is still less popular than Bimaxion, and much less popular than Dymaxion~~.		The structure of sleep resembles a shortened [[E3]] schedule, with only a 1.5-hour core and modified gap sizes. Unlike with typical [[Everyman]] schedules, Trimaxion have equidistant sleeps, with sleeps starting at the same times as they will on the final Dymaxion schedule. Though the Dymaxion schedule is freely rotatable, the Trimaxion core is best placed in the evening for optimal SWS. The core is expected to contain mostly SWS, whereas the naps will contain either mostly REM sleep or mixed stages.

	~~Given Trimaxion's structure of sleep, it resembles a shortened [[E3~~\|~~Everyman 3]], with the core sleep only lasting for 1 full cycle (90 m)~~. It is ~~classified as an extreme Everyman schedule with 1 core sleep and also more than 1 short nap. However,~~ the ~~concept and design behind Trimaxion still follows the '''Dymaxion-style~~ of ~~sleep''', with each sleep block looking somewhat equidistant from one another. By~~ the ~~standard, there is a sleep block around midnight, sunrise hours, noon and mid/late afternoon. As with the case of Bimaxion, which is placed on "E3-tier"~~ compared to ~~Uberman~~, ~~Trimaxion is equivalent to "E4-tier" compared to Uberman. There is only one core sleep to support SWS around midnight hours~~ and ~~the glymphatic system at the bare minimum~~.		==Adaptation==
			{{see\|E4#Adaptation\|Uberman#Adaptation}}
			There has never been any documented successful adaptations to this schedule thus far. This is in part due to the lack of popularity of the schedule compared to [[E4]], which has far more attempts and a few successes.

	As ~~acknowledged that an average human needs approximately '''90 m of [[wikipedia:Rapid_eye_movement_sleep\|REM]] and~~ [[~~wikipedia:Slow-wave_sleep\|SWS~~]] ~~each''' for optimal body and mind functions each day~~, ~~the total sleep of Trimaxion is not sufficient~~ to ~~account for~~ this ~~basic sleep requirements, considering that at least some amount of [[wikipedia:Non-rapid_eye_movement_sleep\|light sleep]] is always present in any sleep blocks to transition~~ between ~~light sleep~~ and ~~vital~~ sleep. ~~As a result, it takes individuals with '''reduced SWS/REM requirements''' (or both)~~ to ~~be able to adapt to, and sustain Trimaxion in~~ the ~~long run. The naps are to contain REM sleep~~, ~~and possibly even mixed~~ SWS and REM ~~because of the intense sleep~~ pressure in the ~~day~~. SWS ~~and REM pressure will climb over~~ a ~~long period of days rather than being alleviated because of the limited total sleep. Attempting~~ to ~~sustain this schedule will~~ cause ~~<u>chronic [[[[wikipedia:Sleep_deprivation\|sleep deprivation]]]]</u> in average humans, and thus polyphasic beginners and average sleepers should completely avoid this schedule~~.		As with adapting to other extreme schedules like [[Uberman]], adapting to this schedule likely requires careful balancing between SWS and REM sleep pressures. After switching to the schedule, both SWS and REM pressure climbs rapidly without being fully relieved by the sleeps. After a REM rebound occurs, the SWS debt starts to build up, eventually causing a rebound, which is extremely likely to cause oversleeps.

	~~==Adaptation==~~		The 30-minute nap may end in mid-cycle SWS wakes during adaptation, which can be difficult to wake up from, especially with the intense SWS deprivation during adaptation.
	~~Because there has never been any official success on this schedule ever since its creation, the '''[[cold turkey]]''' approach is a proposed solution to the~~ adaptation ~~scheme. As with many [[sleep mutants]] in the community who have adapted to multiple reduced polyphasic schedules with minimum sleep threshold way below the recommended amount for average sleepers~~, ~~it may~~ be ~~more beneficial to start this schedule right away and attempt to hold on~~ to ~~it. This will potentially save more time~~ from ~~a [[gradual~~ adaptation~~]] (from Bimaxion) as it is ultimately necessary to overcome the level of abyssal sleep compression to be able to adapt~~.

	==Difficulty==		==Difficulty==
	Trimaxion is ~~approximately as~~ difficult ~~as the likes of [[~~E4~~]], and possibly far more challenging~~. ~~Compared to its predecessor step,~~ Bimaxion, the ~~loss of a dawn~~ sleep ~~block steeply boosts~~ the ~~insane adaptation. Trimaxion is absolutely far more intense than Bimaxion~~, and ~~so far is~~ the ~~only schedule in the Dymaxion family '''without any reported adaptation success, despite a few attempts over the years'''. Therefore, Trimaxion's true level~~ of ~~difficulty and certain mechanisms may remain at a hypothetical stage.~~		{{see\|E4#Difficulty}}
			Trimaxion is considered extremely difficult, similar to E4. By removing the dawn core from Bimaxion, the sleep pressure throughout the day vastly increases, and the extent of sleep repartitionining required is far greater, making the adaptation more challenging. However, as there had been no documented successes, all these statements are only speculative.
	~~The most challenging aspect of Trimaxion adaptation~~ is ~~the perpetual SWS wakes near the end of the naps~~, ~~and possibly~~ the ~~core too~~. ~~In order for the [[repartitioning]] process to complete~~, both the nap(s) and the core will have to work to obtain enough SWS so that SWS pressure can subside to a healthy level. REM sleep's competition will also make it problematic to balance with SWS gain. The [[graveyard hours]] are promised to be hellish, ~~and productivity levels during wake time~~ are ~~expected to be severely crippled with an everlasting [[4-Stages Adaptation Model#Stage 3\|Stage 3]], at least in the case of average sleepers~~.

	== Lifestyle Considerations==		== Lifestyle Considerations==
	~~Based on the structure~~ of ~~the schedule,~~ Trimaxion ~~would share the same lifestyle as~~ Bimaxion. ~~It actually has some advantages compared~~ to E4, ~~a schedule with a seemingly excessive amount of naps~~ to schedule ~~each day~~, ~~and likely becomes a big hassle long term. With~~ only ~~4 sleep blocks and the scheduling design, Trimaxion can fit into regular 9-to-5 mainstream occupations if napping during work~~ is ~~permitted~~. ~~The decently long wake gap between each sleep also allows for quite a bit of personal obligations to be finished timely. The~~ 30 m naps on this schedule ~~play a big role in this lifestyle advantage - a 30 m nap, which is~~ longer ~~than a~~ 20 ~~m nap~~, ~~can '''yield more wakefulness sustaining''' than a 20 m nap. This also explains why~~ the ~~sleep frequency of Trimaxion~~ is ~~relatively low~~ for ~~a schedule with only 3h total sleep~~. ~~As with any polyphasic schedules with low total sleep~~, ~~Trimaxion is a convincing candidate for extremely deep lucid dreaming instances~~.		{{see\|E4#Lifestyle Considerations\|Bimaxion#Lifestyle Considerations}}
			This aspect of Trimaxion is similar to Bimaxion. Compared to E4, it is likely to be easier to schedule, as only one daytime nap is required. As the 30-minute naps in this schedule allows longer wake gaps after them compared to standard 20-minute naps, the schedule is easier to manage for people who may have activities that take longer than ~4 hours to complete. However, 30-minute naps are also harder to fit in compared to 20-minute ones.

	For ~~regular~~ sleepers, the unforgiving ~~drawbacks of Trimaxion include, but not limited to~~, ~~inflexibility of sleep timing~~ even ~~after~~ adaptation is ~~done~~, ~~inability to cope with extensive physical activities~~ and ~~fundamentally limited evening social time. Skipping~~ any sleep ~~on this schedule even after adaptation can also~~ be very damaging ~~to recover from, at least on paper, and it would take a lot~~ of ~~efforts to maintain the delicacy balance of sleep stages on this schedule. Other than Dymaxion, it would be better to adapt to '''Bimaxion'''~~, ~~as the total sleep is in a safer threshold~~ and ~~there~~ is ~~still the Dymaxion-style structure of sleeps and the 30 m naps~~ to ~~experiment with~~.		For average sleepers, the schedule is expected to be unforgiving, even if an adaptation succeeds. For example, as with E4, there is expected to be little flexibility, and skipping any sleep would be very damaging. The amount of space for SWS is also low, and recovery after physical exercise is expected to be very difficult.

	==Variants==		==Variants==
	Alternatively, adding 1 or 2 more 30 m naps may facilitate the intense sleep pressure as adaptation progresses, however, it will only delay Stage 3 for some time as these extra naps are removed. The adapter will still have to face the mountains of sleep inertia from each sleep block in order to reach the end of the adaptation.		An extended variant with a longer core is believed to be possible, similar to a standard E3, but with longer naps. However, there has not been any success with this variant either.

	~~Since there is not a single successful adaptation to this schedule, an '''~~extended variant~~''' (3h~~ core ~~and 3 30 m naps)~~ is ~~likely~~ a ~~lot milder; nonetheless, it would then become redundant. A~~ standard E3 ~~would be a more sensible option, given that the 3h core variant of E3 has accumulated a ton of adaptation failures over the years~~, ~~despite the fact that it has been recommended and become extremely popular. Thus, Trimaxion-extended~~ with ~~3 30 m~~ naps ~~is only more complicated and puzzling to handle~~. ~~It is crucial to observe a successful case to this schedule before~~ any ~~further theoretical alternate versions of~~ this ~~schedule become available~~.

Based on the structure of the schedule, Trimaxion would share the same lifestyle as Bimaxion.

With only 4 sleep blocks and the scheduling design, Trimaxion can fit into regular 9-to-5 mainstream occupations if napping during work is permitted. The decently long wake gap between each sleep also allows for quite a bit of personal obligations to be finished timely. The 30 m naps on this schedule play a big role in this lifestyle advantage - a 30 m nap, which is longer than a 20 m nap, can '''yield more wakefulness sustaining''' than a 20 m nap. This also explains why the sleep frequency of Trimaxion is relatively low for a schedule with only 3h total sleep. As with any polyphasic schedules with low total sleep, Trimaxion is a convincing candidate for extremely deep lucid dreaming instances.

Skipping any sleep on this schedule even after adaptation can also be very damaging to recover from, at least on paper, and it would take a lot of efforts to maintain the delicacy balance of sleep stages on this schedule. Other than Dymaxion, it would be better to adapt to '''Bimaxion''', as the total sleep is in a safer threshold and there is still the Dymaxion-style structure of sleeps and the 30 m naps to experiment with.

	Alternatively, adding 1 or 2 more ~~30m~~ naps may facilitate the intense sleep pressure as adaptation progresses, however, it will only delay Stage 3 for some time as these extra naps are removed. The adapter will still have to face the mountains of sleep inertia from each sleep block in order to reach the end of the adaptation.		==Variants==

	As acknowledged that an average human needs approximately '''~~90m~~ of REM and SWS each''' for optimal body and mind functions each day, the total sleep of Trimaxion is not sufficient to account for this basic sleep requirements, considering that at least some amount of light sleep is always present in any sleep blocks to transition between light sleep and vital sleep. As a result, it takes individuals with '''reduced SWS/REM requirements''' (or both) to be able to adapt to, and sustain Trimaxion in the long run. The naps are to contain REM sleep, and possibly even mixed SWS and REM because of the intense sleep pressure in the day. SWS and REM pressure will climb over a long period of days rather than being alleviated because of the limited total sleep. Attempting to sustain this schedule will cause <u>chronic sleep deprivation</u> in average humans, and thus polyphasic beginners and average sleepers should completely avoid this schedule.

	Because there has never been any official success on this schedule ever since its creation, the '''cold turkey''' approach is a proposed solution to the adaptation scheme.
