This variant is still called E2 (not extended), as it is a minor extension. The reasoning behind this is that, as most of the SWS should have been accounted for by the 4.5h mark, adding sleep after it should allow more REM and light sleep to be gained, potentially easing the adaptation.

One sleeper has shown that a 5h core E2 can be a path to [[SEVAMAYL]] adaptation. The buffer amount from the slightly longer core sleep allows more flexibility of both naps and the core itself. For these reasons, 5h core is recommended as an alternative to the default one.
