*'''Specification''': Multiple core sleeps of 1 cycle each
* '''Mechanism''': Variant of SPAMAYL that includes only core sleeps. Evolves well from adaptation to QC0 and then QC0-flex as a helpful intermediate. Each core sleep provides a distinct amount of sleep stages depending on when they are placed and the level of current homeostatic pressure. A strong reliance on sensing when the most ideal time to place a core is is required. The freedom to place a core soon in the day at natural tired/sleepy spots is required to make the schedule work. This is to avoid excessively long wake gaps that result in tiredness and potential crash later on.

*'''Adaptation difficulty''': Hard
* '''Ideal scheduling''': 4 core sleeps on average each day, each core sleep lasting for 90m. Core spacing should take into account natural periods of drowsiness and SWS/REM peaks. It is more common to stay awake for longer periods in the day (6+ hours) while shorter around graveyard/morning hours (2-3h) between each core. A core sleep can be extended by 90m once adapted to make up for a missing core from the previous day, or a short nap (10-15m) can be occasionally added to the schedule after adapted in case of a long wake gap that does not allow a full core to be scheduled. The number of cores taken each day may vary everyday or on an occasional basis.

CAMAYL is an abbreviation of “'''Core As Much As You Like'''”, as part of the “-AMAYL” polyphasic series, a highly flexible prototype. Similar to SEVAMAYL, it is unlikely that one could adapt to this schedule using the cold turkey method, as all attempts have failed so far. A strict adaptation to a base schedule of only 90m core sleeps (e.g, QC0) has been proven to make a successful CAMAYL adaptation using the gradual flexing sleep mechanics. Sleepers need to develop a strong sense of their personal drowsiness to place their cores at ideal times for optimal SWS and REM to sustain wakefulness and well-being. The ability to adapt to flexible core sleeps paves the way for a more hectic lifestyle. The main purpose of this schedule is to deliver an experience with sleeping in core sleeps rather than short naps, and to add more exposure to longer sleeps, which is different from regular Everyman and Uberman schedules. People who have a strong tendency for longer sleeps and cannot have a consistent daytime schedule may also find CAMAYL a fitting choice.
