'''Tri core 2''', or '''TC2''', is a [[schedule]] in the [[Tri core|Tri-core]] line<ref name="lich" />, which consists of three [[cores]] and two [[naps]].

And with the clunky scheduling of 3 core sleeps and a somewhat high total sleep for a schedule with 5 sleep blocks per day, TC2 is vastly outclassed by other more comfortable schedules such as [[E2]] (same total sleep), [[E3|E3-extended]] (easier adaptation), [[DC1]], [[DC2]], and its own Tri Core counterparts. Thus, this schedule only benefits very flexible jobs (e.g, work at home, self-employed) and work-at-your-pace lifestyle. Other than this, TC2 is not considered a long-term viable schedule, even though it is potentially more flexible than Triphasic and TC1, thanks to the extra nap to further keep homeostatic pressure balanced.  

The three core sleeps, especially the late afternoon one, can be difficult to schedule for many people. This, along with the two daytime naps, makes this schedule likely only feasible for those with near full control of their own time, such as self-employed workers. Compared to TC1, it has larger gaps at night, which would allow a wider range of activities as there is no need to be constantly preparing for sleep. The inventor of the schedule noted that it eventually became possible to only take one of the two naps on the schedule, with the ability to choose between the two possible locations. This may enhance the feasibility of this schedule for those with regular jobs.

Aside from this standard variant, '''no other variants''' of TC2 have proved to work thus far. Extending any of the core sleeps by 90 m proves to be more of a nuisance to schedule 5 sleeps, and it is highly ill-advised to attempt any extended versions. Because TC2 looks very redundant, it is a better approach to attempt any of the more convenient schedules as mentioned above.

An exteneded variant has been proposed for this scheduule, extending the night core to 3 hours. However, as this schedule is very unpopular, there has been no documented success for any alternative variants. Extending the sleep may also cause significant issues with falling asleep five times a day, similar to the difficulty with [[QC0#Difficulty|QC0]].
