{{Alternative Hypothesis}} | |||
Although it’s generally accepted that cores which are multiples of 1.5 hours contain a corresponding number of cycles (e.g., a 4.5-hour core would typically include three cycles), some members have observed that this may not always be the case. For instance, a 4.5-hour core might consist of two extended cycles, each lasting around two hours, followed by a light sleep buffer at the end. | |||

[[Sevamayl]], an acronym for "sleep everyman as much as you like", is a variant of | [[Sevamayl]], an acronym for "sleep everyman as much as you like", is a variant of Spamayl that includes one core sleep at night. The idea is to adapt to a general everyman sleep schedule, after which the individual learns the flexibility to move around start & end times of their core & naps. The total sleep varies broadly, though is generally 5h30m to 7h. | ||
