A [[non-reducing]] schedule, which has three blocks of sleep of changeable length and heavily relies on natural sleep patterns and circadian management. Its mechanism is very similar to [[BiphasicX]], with the possibility of the night core splitting. The best Triphasic-X variant has a core, which starts closely to dusk, second block of sleep (core/nap), which is close to dawn, and the third block of sleep during the day. Thus Triphasic-X is supposed to take three main forms: [[E2]], [[DC1]] and [[Triphasic]]. [[Dark period]] starts 1-2 hours before the main SWS core. If the second block of sleep starts around the dawn, it's better to keep dark period till this time.
