Changes

Historically, the schedule recorded one unintentional and anecdotal success from sleeper '''Aethermind’s father''', who has been inadvertently maintaining the schedule for most of '''2-3 decades''' without visibly dangerous diseases aside from high stress or missing the second core due to work. His DUCAMAYL variant consists of 2 somewhat flexible core sleeps and alternates between 1 and 2 flexible naps from day to day. First created and roughly drafted in 2017 in the Discord channel, it was proposed as a flexible Dual Core counterpart to SEVAMAYL, a flexible Everyman prototype. Up to 2020, there have been two more successful adaptations to DUCAMAYL. '''<u>Most of what is said about SEVAMAYL also applies to DUCAMAYL</u>''', with only some differences from the structure of DUCAMAYL as a Dual Core schedule, regarding sleep timing and flexibility of sleep. 1-2 months will have to be reserved to adapt to a strict Dual Core schedule first, and then several weeks (~6-9 weeks) to adapt to DUCAMAYL.

Like other “-AMAYL” polyphasic schedules, erratic lifestyles greatly benefit them. It would be, however, a better idea to slightly flex the Dual Core base schedule rather than adopting DUCAMAYL if flexibility is limited with consistent work or social commitments. Unlike, SEVAMAYL, however, DUCAMAYL has the second core sleep around dawn that can boost alertness for several hours ahead. This can pave the way for certain jobs with long wake gap(s) from morning to early afternoon hours without having to rest. The second core of DUCAMAYL (on variants with at least ~5h total sleep of both cores) limits the amount of needed daytime naps, and needing only 1 daytime nap on certain days can allow for a lot of uninterrupted waking hours.
