| This schedule is named to differentiate itself from other established biphasic patterns (Siesta, Segmented and E1). The suffix "-X" denotes variability in the daytime nap duration, which does not have to be a fixed duration everyday. | | This schedule is named to differentiate itself from other established biphasic patterns (Siesta, Segmented and E1).

| '''One reason why people come to polyphasic sleeping and attempt other sleep-reducing schedules is to gain more wake time each day,''' not knowing that '''non-reducing polyphasic schedules are also viable alternatives'''. Thus, there have been few official attempts for this schedule that have been fully logged and reported up to date (all of which are at least somewhat positive experiences), due to the unappealing aspect of not being able to reduce a lot of hours spent sleeping. However, it has the potential to naturally reduce a tiny amount of total sleep each day with entrained biphasic sleeping and dark period; this theory still requires a big enough sample size to confirm if some sleep reduction is possible. | | '''One reason why people come to polyphasic sleeping and attempt other sleep-reducing schedules is to gain more wake time each day,''' not knowing that '''non-reducing polyphasic schedules are also viable alternatives'''.
