In this [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8500187/ study], Tesla schedule was used to evaluate experimenters' cognitive performance upon waking up from the naps (effects of '''sleep inertia''') and then such results were compared to sleepers who stayed awake during the entire study ('''64 hours'''). It was found out that a number of naps on Tesla did contain '''both SWS and REM sleep''', which reinforces the theoretical assumption that both of these vital sleep stages can be found in just 20 m naps because of the insane levels of sleep deprivation. Initially, when adaptation first began, sleep onset of the naps averaged to be '''~3.8 minutes''', suggesting that an adaptation is required to facilitate napping habits as a cold turkey transition from monophasic sleep.

However, because the study did not last long enough, it is uncertain if this sleep onset values across the napping subjects would decrease drastically; even though this prediction is likely. Compared with other nap only schedules' experiences, it makes sense that an adapted sleeper would fall asleep within mere minutes, or even seconds on Tesla. If the adaptation is eventually possible, it would become clear that there is an equilibrium of REM-SWS ratio in each nap, and that each vital sleep stage can take over any nap (e.g, REM nap in the nap around midnight) similar to Uberman. It was also noted in the study that '''core body temperature''', while at <u>circadian trough</u> (lowest, which is near sunrise hours) made the morning nap especially nightmarish to wake from. This also points to the recommendation that napping at nighttime is not as favorable as having core sleep(s) due to the high likelihood for dominant SWS sleep portion.
