Bimaxion (often referred to as Bimax) for short, is a polyphasic pattern of the "maxion" family. The typical trait of this family of schedules is the use of 30m naps, or '''Dymaxion naps.''' Following from the original Dymaxion sleep schedule, Bimaxion is designed with the intent of creating a fallback schedule after Dymaxion is no longer sustainable (e.g, sickness, more physical activities). Originally mapped out to total only 4h sleep each day by GeneralNguyen, the schedule used to be called "Quadphasic" (4 sleeps per day of 1h each, but more focus on nocturnal sleep and less sleep during the day). It then became Bimaxion with 2 core sleeps of only 1 full cycle each, and 2 30m naps, resulting in the change in naming (2 naps = "bi") to clarify naming.
