Siesta sleep has long been considered a golden sleep schedule due to its prevalence and astoundingly well-rounded core sleeps. However, due to the hectic lifestyles today, managing a daytime core is very difficult. This in return decreases the popularity of Siesta and it pales in comparison with its counterpart E1. However, work-from-home or flexible school/work hours can enable the Siesta daytime core to put in work. Over the years a lot of polyphasic sleepers have attempted Siesta, despite its inherently disadvantageous daytime core compared to the daytime nap of E1 and have enjoyed their success. After adaptation, the whole schedule can become flexible by flexing one or both core sleeps with small increments.

Siesta sleep has long been considered a golden sleep schedule due to its prevalence and astoundingly well-rounded core sleeps. However, due to the hectic lifestyles today, managing a daytime core is very difficult. This in return decreases the popularity of Siesta and it pales in comparison with its counterpart E1. However, work-from-home or flexible school/work hours can enable the Siesta daytime core to put in work. Another downside is that food time should be properly scheduled in relation to the daytime core on '''the standard or any reducing versions''', which is recommended to be right after the core, or a few hours before it to ensure its quality. However, there is more leeway in scheduling meals with the daytime core on '''extended and non-reducing''' versions, since total sleep is high enough. Over the years a lot of polyphasic sleepers have attempted Siesta, despite its inherently disadvantageous daytime core compared to the daytime nap of E1 and have enjoyed their success. After adaptation, the whole schedule can become flexible by flexing one or both core sleeps with small increments.  
    
However, Siesta (especially extended version) is often known to be the '''most popular and viable polyphasic pattern for athletes''' who often perform physically taxing tasks. Roger Federer and Usain Bolt are two of the many athletes who are known to habitually take a long siesta. The secondary core sleep provides more intensive recovery after an intense workout session, effectively granting another opportunity at recovery to meet the increased SWS requirement. It has been researched that [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20308699/ after an endurance training session, SWS pressure rises] a longer sleep will facilitate SWS. The occurrence of SWS in the long siesta is said to release the growth hormone (GH) regulate glucose levels and glycogen storage as these storages often become depleted under a long and intense exercise session. All in all, the vital functions of the secondary core sleep in assisting the recovery period after exertion is invaluable.
