This characteristic can be generally defined in every sleep pattern. The lowest possible level of randomness is a strict consistent schedule. Polyphasic schedules usually tolerate some [[Flexing|flexibility]] after adaptation, which makes the level of randomness higher. The highest level is observed in [[BiphasicX]] and [[-AMAYL|-Amayl]] schedules, which don't have fixed sleep times and / or fixed length of sleeps. The Random category, on the other hand, allows a much higher level of randomness, such as an absolute absence of sleep structure. | ||
