{{Bimaxion}}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. Bimaxion is the schedule that gives a highest amount of sleep each day in the "-maxion" family of schedules (4h), to reflect on the idea of an "intense lifestyle with little sleep" from Buckminster Fuller, who created Dymaxion sleep himself.

{{Bimaxion}}Bimaxion is a schedule that combines elements of [[dual core]] and [[dymaxion]]. It is designed as a transitional schedule for a [[gradual adaptation]] route to dymaxion, as well as a fallback schedule after dymaxion becomes no longer sustainable. At 4 hours sleep total, it is considered to be the single most difficult schedule that is still achievable by an average person.
