SPAMAYL is an abbreviation of “'''Sleep Polyphasically As Much As You Like'''”, one of the 4 "-AMAYL" polyphasic schedules. Originally proposed by '''Rasmus''', who reportedly stayed on the schedule for 1.5 years, SPAMAYL is intended to be the first "-AMAYL" polyphasic schedule with hyper flexibility in sleep times, following the body's need for rest to place the naps accordingly. The original design of the schedule exclusively uses 20m naps. Recently, it is also sometimes referred to as U7 or U8 (Uberman with 7 or 8 naps).

Another approach to adapt to SPAMAYL would be through an adaptation to a schedule with strict sleep times, for example, Uberman with 7 or 8 naps. Then, the next step is to learn to flex the naps as part of the '''flexing adaptation''', one or two naps at a time, and add more naps when alertness and productivity start to falter, to get used to the varying number of naps. While this approach looks viable, no one has successfully adapted to SPAMAYL with a gradual adaptation method, due to the immensely difficult adaptation to a nap-only schedule as the first step, let alone learning to flex sleep on a nap-only pattern.
