This schedule is a variant of SPAMAYL that includes 2 core sleeps. Evolves well from adaptation to DC1-extended, DC2-(extended) and DC3-extended then flexible versions of these schedules as helpful intermediates. The first core sleep provides more SWS while the second core favors more REM, with the nap(s) providing the remaining REM. A strong reliance on sensing when to best nap to get quality REM nap(s) and quality cores is required. You will need the freedom to take a nap soon at any time, and/or the ability to plan naps sensibly for each day such that there is no waking gap too long that makes you tired.

DUCAMAYL evolves well from an extended Dual Core base schedule (or for some, a regular DC2 schedule) to ensure some flexibility of the core sleeps, but Dual Core sleep in essence evolves from Segmented sleep. With both core sleeps taking advantage of SWS and REM peaks, DUCAMAYL utilizes a varying number of daytime naps for each particular day. After adapting to a base Dual Core schedule, the body gets used to the new sleep pattern, which involves 2 core sleeps and a number of naps to be used when sleep times become flexible, and the amount of sleep reduction from the personal monophasic baseline. Slowly shifting the naps and the cores enhance the flexibility of the whole schedule. '''Both core sleeps rake in ideally all needed SWS, and a decent amount of REM sleep'''. The remaining naps only serve to fulfill the remaining REM sleep and provide alertness boost and memory consolidation with NREM2. Because of 2 core sleeps occupying a fair amount of graveyard hours, DUCAMAYL results in overall fewer daytime naps than SEVAMAYL.
