[[Tesla]], sometimes denoted as U4, has 4 20-minute naps equidistantly placed throughout the day. The total sleep time is 1 hour 20 minutes. This schedule combines the characteristics of Uberman and Dymaxion, and has an extreme difficulty. There were no successful adaptations to Tesla so far.

[[SPAMAYL]], an acronym for "sleep polyphasically as much as you like", is an inherently [[Flexing|flexible]] nap-only schedule. It usually consists of 20-minute naps, which are taken every time whenever tired enough. Their length can be somewhat longer, which allows to get more SWS and REM.

The success rate of this schedule is quite low due to its extreme difficulty. Unlike the other [[Flexing#-AMAYL|-AMAYL]] schedules, most adaptations to SPAMAYL were completed [[cold turkey]]. The total sleep time is generally 3-4 hours.
