However, Spamayl is considered to be less hostile than Uberman and Dymaxion, since it can allow more than 6 or 4 naps respectively, and the extra sleep from the extra naps will help accommodate sleep need more easily, allowing for extra REM and SWS gain. However, because the naps are being moved they will contain a lower amount of SWS or REM than the naps of strict nap-only schedules, thus requiring more naps to give the same total SWS and REM sleep. It is likely that only adults with genetically reduced sleep needs will be able to accomplish this type of sleeping pattern, due to the inefficiencies of inconsistent sleep times and the very low sleep total.

Spamayl is considered to be less hostile than Uberman and Dymaxion, since it can allow more naps, especially during the adaptation as noted by Rasmus. However, as the flexible naps tend to be less compressed, the overall time possible in vital sleep stages is likely similar. As a result, it is likely that average sleepers still will not be able to make the schedule sustainable. An [[extreme adaptation]] is still going to be required to achieve the needed repartitioning if the TST is to be below 3-4 hours. As a result, the adaptation difficulty of Spamayl is considered extremely difficult.

Due to the usually very low TST of 3-4 hours (while an extended version is thinkable, increasing the density and length of the naps would nullify most advantages mentioned below), lack of cores and therefore extreme repartitioning of SWS into naps with resulting SWS wakes and necessity of correctly gauging the timing and duration of the naps, as well as their scheduling, likely completely ignoring of socially acceptable sleep times as a result, the adaptation difficulty of Spamayl is considered '''extremely difficult'''.
