Tri Core 2, or TC2, is also one of the newer Tri Core prototypes. Made by LichterLoh from the Discord community, TC2 is largely different from its predecessors Triphasic and TC1. The idea behind TC2 is not to cram all three core sleeps into the night like on TC1, or having all cores somewhat equidistant like on Triphasic. Since the sleep frequency of TC2 is the highest among the Tri Core family, which overall has a very low number of naps needed, all sleeps, including the cores, are spread out, with 2 cores being focused at night (and potentially take on the feature of Dual Core sleep, where the midnight core favors SWS, while the core around sunrise hours favors REM sleep). The third core, located at late afternoon hours, coincides with the timing after usual hours of school and work as a way to give a long recovery after a long day.

Aside from this standard variant, '''no other variants''' of TC2 have proved to work thus far. 
    
The daytime naps serve to provide a high frequency of sleep and bolster alertness levels. Because of the high frequency of sleeps, staying awake between each sleep on TC2 may not be as difficult as on Triphasic and TC1. Most notably, compared to the original Triphasic sleep, '''TC1 and TC2 give more total sleep''', which only happens in the Tri Core schedule group. This is because the 90m cores are already at the lowest number of sleep cycles, and the total sleep increases because of the addition of nap(s).
