Line 12: Line 12:  
After an adaptation to a schedule with exclusively 90m core sleeps has been completed, the brain has replaced its standard sleeping schedule and adjusted to the new reduced sleep total. It is then possible to '''slowly shift the core sleeps''', which contain highly repartitioned SWS and REM without reducing sleep quality, rather than flexing when adapting to strict sleep times. However, moved cores also contain less SWS/REM than a strictly timed core, thus resulting in a varying number of core sleeps from day to day. Each core sleep supposedly only gives a slightly different amount of vital sleep percentage from day to day as adapted from a strict base schedule. Each core sleep serves to maintain the required amount of SWS and REM each day to boost well-being and alertness around the clock.

Like SEVAMAYL, once adapted it is possible to occasionally extend a core sleep by 90m. It is then wiser to return to the normal 90m core duration for at least a week before attempting to extend it again for required circumstances. Similar to adapted schedules, the cores are designed to give alertness boost around the clock with the correct timing. The freedom to take a core whenever tired is satisfying once succeeded. It is also comfortable to delay a core sleep for a couple hours in the afternoon, or skip a whole core together if needed sometimes.
