The second and third core sleeps are likely to resemble the two cores on [[Dual core]] schedules, with the first one containing mainly [[SWS]] and the second core containing mostly [[REM]]. The first core is likely to be mixed, similar to the day core in [[Siesta]] or [[Triphasic]]. The daytime naps help boost alertness levels during the day, and may provide a minor amount of REM sleep along with light sleep. | The second and third core sleeps are likely to resemble the two cores on [[Dual core]] schedules, with the first one containing mainly [[SWS]] and the second core containing mostly [[REM]].

The three core sleeps, especially the late afternoon one, can be difficult to schedule for many people. This, along with the two daytime naps, makes this schedule likely only feasible for those with near full control of their own time, such as self-employed workers. Compared to TC1, it has larger gaps at night, which would allow a wider range of activities as there is no need to be constantly preparing for sleep. The inventor of the schedule noted that it eventually became possible to only take one of the two naps on the schedule, with the ability to choose between the two possible locations. This may enhance the feasibility of this schedule for those with regular jobs. | |||

An exteneded variant has been proposed for this scheduule, extending the night core to 3 hours. However, as this schedule is very unpopular, there has been no documented success for any alternative variants. Extending the sleep may also cause significant issues with falling asleep five times a day, similar to the difficulty with [[QC0#Difficulty|QC0]]. | |||
