→TC1 structure
=== TC1 structure ===
=== TC1 structure ===
This is an experimental variant, proposed by [[User:Sekvanto|Sekvanto]]. Both cores have the same length of 2 hours. Three blocks of sleep are placed during the night hours: both cores and one of the naps. The second nap is placed midday. Such schedule resembles the structure of [[TC1]], replacing one of the cores with a nap and extending the remaining cores. This variant has less naps during the daytime, which potentially makes it more convenient socially for some. An early core may be an issue, on the other hand. Another benefit includes a dawn nap, which may increase dream recall.

It should be noted that 2h [[cores]] are usually considered a bad choice, since they are a bit longer than an average sleep cycle, which makes SWS wakes more possible. This schedule overall isn't popular and had only a couple of successful adaptations. However, 2h cores work for some, supposedly either by having extended sleep cycles or by getting more light sleep in the end of the cores.
