As a moderately difficult schedule, adapting to E2 is an accomplishment. The main benefits of E2 often include:
* Avoiding sleep deprivation from the shortened monophasic sleep, due to inability to sleep for longer.
* Improved sleep quality, i.e. a much deeper core experience.
* REM-filled naps are often accompanied by very vivid dreams which are easier to remember than dreams during monophasic sleep. This can be useful especially if you are interested in lucid dreaming.
* Days can feel less distinct, since you’re conscious during much of the night. You’ll get up and/or fall asleep when everyone else is asleep, which can allow for more alone time for self-care.
Additionally, E2 is often done by students or those working part-time jobs who are able to nap before, between or after school or work. Full-time jobs can work with this schedule, only if you are able to take a nap during the workday.

The ability to exercise to some extent and accommodate many lifestyles after adaptation is also very appealing. Although taking a lot of damage, one adapted E2 sleeper (4.5h core) was able to fully recover from a 5-hour timezone change. Two other adapted sleepers were also able to consume mild amounts of [[cannabis]] during and after adaptation.

This schedule is also good for people who share a bed or room with someone else. It is not too difficult to find a sleep or wake time to match a monophasic person, if they agree to a consistent sleep or wake time.
