Less reduction is possible because of the [[wake time reduction]] mechanism, as biphasic schedules have only two blocks of sleep, which is not enough to sleep much less than on [[monophasic]] sleep. The maximum possible reduction is usually around 1-3 hours. All the biphasic schedules | Biphasic schedules have been naturally used by humanity over the centuries<ref>Ekirch AR.
