This version was originally mapped out by '''Puredoxyk'''. The core is located at late hours in the SWS peak, which also forces a rotation of the nap timing. In this setup, social life can be more manageable in the evening with the opportunity to wake up and start the day very early. The first nap is taken before the day actually starts (for other regular monophasic sleepers), and 2 naps are taken during work breaks, potentially. In a way this scheduling resembles [[DC2]] whose naps are placed at similar hours. There is also a choice of scheduling a '''3.5h core''' for the matter of personal preference, Puredoxyk explained.

Puredoxyk was successfully adapted to this E3 variant at some point. However, she was also known to be a very heavy insomniac, whose sleep requirements are very low overall, because of the chronic sleep interruptions that troubled her when she had to sleep monophasically. This is a very extreme way to schedule E3, as the core around sunrise hours will create a confusion in circadian rhythm, which favors REM sleep in these hours. It is doubtful if an average sleeper with normal SWS requirements would be able to adapt to this E3, as there has been basically no successful adaptations ever reported. The rotation of the naps also moves the last nap into SWS peak hours, which can be absolutely overwhelming to wake from when SWS pressure rises. '''Inexperienced or beginners should avoid this variant entirely'''.

Nowadays, this core length has been '''more commonly used''' for an E3 adaptation rather than the 3h core. The total sleep is similar to [[Triphasic]], hovering around a more comfortable sleep total for experienced or highly motivated attempters. The same principles that apply to the 3h core also apply to a 3.5h core. The core sleep should not start any later than 10-10:30 PM, to retain sufficient amount of SWS. If all SWS has been accounted for, the +30m from 3-3.5h mark can give more light sleep or REM sleep, to match personal REM baseline more comfortably. This is also a core duration that is popularly used in [[Segmented]] sleep and scheduled in the SWS peak for the same purpose. The naps are scheduled in a similar manner. It ''may'' be possible to '''gradually''' '''transition from Segmented sleep''' (with a 3.5h first core), a scheme proposed by '''[[Polyphasic Society]]''' to get to E3, but it is unknown if anyone has been able to pull this off.

* The '''ideal scheduling''' of E3-extended would have a nap around early morning hours, noon/early afternoon and late afternoon to fit into regular occupations (e.g, 9-to-5). The wake gap between the first nap and the core can be as low as 3h, and up to ~4.5h. The last nap can be as late as ~6 PM as long as all SWS is guaranteed in the core. Because of having 3 naps, E3-extended does not have much variation in scheduling as the naps are mostly locked into these convenient spots of the day.

As SWS is most likely covered by the core, this creates a possibility for a Pronap on E3-extended, even though it may appear redundant. There is '''very little successful record''' with this variant as well. It is also important to note that using a Pronap on regular E3 versions is very discouraged, because the 3 or 3.5h cores cannot cover all SWS needs when adaptation first begins. Extending the first nap will only increase the chance for an SWS wake, because through many in-progress adaptations to Everyman schedules, many EEG readings of adapters do record SWS or even SWS wake even in the first nap around REM peak. A Pronap is often used for individuals with normal SWS but '''high REM requirements''', ~120-150m to be able to use this E3-extended variant. Only '''sleep mutants''' or '''individuals with low SWS requirements''' should use a Pronap on the regular E3 version.

Since the 5h core duration has been used in a lot of adaptations, it is also possible to apply the concepts to E3-extended. With the total sleep of 6h and a high frequency of sleep, this variant should suit people with '''very high monophasic requirements''' (e.g, ~9-9.5h monophasic) or people with huge SWS requirements. There have been very rare attempts, though.
