Triphasic is the original and most commonly known schedule in the Tri Core family, which consists of only 3 core sleeps and no naps. Leif Weaver, the first polyphasic sleeper with a successful adaptation to Triphasic, remained on the schedule for several months. This schedule was known to be equidistantly scheduled, with a 6.5h wake gap between each core sleep. Because of the structure, Triphasic can be considered a more extreme Segmented schedule, with a long siesta. Despite the origin of the schedule, equidistant sleep is not required, although '''no more than 8h''' wake gap between any core sleep is recommended. For the daytime core and with the recorded successes in Triphasic (except Triphasic-extended), it is possible to stay awake for up to '''9 hours''' from the daytime core to the core around SWS peak hours, while the wake gap between the 2 other cores around night hours tends to be smaller.
