However, because of a high total sleep, it may take a long time to finally be able to fall asleep in the nap compared to standard E1. The adaptation to E1-extended may last just as long as the regular version, but with a much milder adaptation and possibly [[Special:MyLanguage/4-Stages_Adaptation_Model#Easier_adaptation|silent stage 3]], with no signs of severe [[wikipedia:Sleep_deprivation|sleep deprivation]] symptoms or crippled productivity as seen on other more reducing schedules that has been observed in successful adaptations. Picking this variant as a result may give the benefit of potentially maximizing daily performances (physical and cognitive) at work and/or school even when adapting. | However, because of a high total sleep, it may take a long time to finally be able to fall asleep in the nap compared to standard E1.

This variant has a shorter core, 5 hours or less, which usually consists of 3 sleep cycles. One of the most popular proposed forms is 5h + 30m. Similarly to Siesta, the 3-cycle core is extended to 5 hours, which allows to get more light sleep and REM for sustaining E1-shortened. The nap is extended to 30 minutes, which further increases total sleep time and should make the schedule more sustainable. | |||
This schedule is more difficult than the standard one, but might be possible for those with a lower sleep needs (~6-7h on mono). | |||
