With 2 core sleeps placed around the sleep peaks and 2 supplemental naps in the day, DC2 is similar to [[E3|E3-extended]] in sleep distribution and offers a decent napping frequency to learn the napping behavior. '''DC2 in a way resembles E3''', except that the first nap of E3 is now the second core in DC2.
