The schedule is based on the adaptation to a habit of 20-minute naps. Since there are no core sleeps, all necessary [[SWS]] and [[REM]] must come from the naps.

As with [[Uberma]]n and [[Dymaxion]], the intense sleep pressures makes the circadian [[sleep peaks]] less important than on other schedules. Experienced nappers can achieve a fast onset of REM or SWS in their nap, even for naps that are not strictly scheduled. | ||
Spamayl can | Spamayl can have up to ~10 naps to be scheduled per day, which also adds up to a total sleep of 3-4 hours. If one or more naps are scheduled to be longer, then ~6 naps per day may suffice. Note that the number of naps as well as total sleep time should be relatively consistent on a day-to-day basis to ensure their quality. | ||
