Examples include the time shift that occurs as a result of Daylight Savings Time, time zone changes as a result of travel, or changing sleep times without a proper flexing adaptation first. These shifts can cause a desynchronization between a sleeper&#039;s circadian rhythm and their schedule, which cause similar changes to sleep quality that flexing may have, but often on a greater scale. The farther one shifts a sleep, and the more sleeps they shift at once, the higher their chances of schedule destabilization are&lt;/ins&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

The possible level of flexing depends on the scheduled total sleep time and on the stability of adaptation. The sleep schedules, which reduce much sleep, generally are much less flexible than the ones with higher total sleep time, as flexing is known to decrease sleep quality, which is unacceptable for the schedules with extreme compression. When sleep is flexed too much, the adaptation can be destabilized or even ruined, as the compression can&#039;t be maintained anymore.&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
