So far, all successes reported on this schedule are done '''cold turkey'''. However, most of the successful adaptations are from sleep mutants (~5-6h monophasic) or heavy insomniacs (which is the patent cause behind a consistently low amount of vital sleep stage requirements). A gradual adaptation method to a polyphasic schedule with a 30m nap (e.g, DC1 with a 30m nap) may be possible, but it has not been an effective way to adapt to Bimaxion so far. Because of the difficult nature of the 30m naps, cold turkey method is the most recommended means for a successful Bimaxion adaptation.

Up to date, only the default version of Bimaxion is adaptable. Any other possible variants, including swapping the second nap and the first core's positions, or slightly shortening one or both cores down to ~70-80m to squeeze in a bit more wake time will only increase the hostility of the adaptation process.

Bimaxion can be extended, with an extra cycle added to the SWS core, but then its higher total sleep causes it to lose the niche of the hefty sleep reduction amount and the extended version is still much harder than DC2. At this point, it is simply better to adapt to DC2 or E3-extended instead.
