After adapting to TC1, one can then slowly transition to DC3 by turning the third core into a nap and adding a third nap in the afternoon (~4 PM).

The defining distinction between Triphasic and TC1 is that the night gap is a lot more packed on TC1 with the core sleeps. This can create an impression that TC1 divides the day into several small parts with each core giving more and more compressed vital sleep stages. However, because the wake gap at night is shorter on TC1 than on Triphasic, physically lighter and more peaceful activities are preferred on TC1 (e.g, studying, cooking, planning, chores) to assist in falling asleep in the cores. However, to many individuals, it may be very inconvenient to schedule 3 core sleeps at night, when all of them are placed close to one another. Strenuous exercising may also be overbearing for the total sleep of less than 5 hours. It is also very unlikely TC1 will become very flexible after the adaptation, also because of its total sleep. Slightly flexing a core sleep or two, and/or the nap is acceptable, but so far no one has demonstrated how flexible TC1 can be, assuming a normal sleep requirement.
