Because of a generally bigger wake gap between the cores, it may be easier to fall asleep in the 2 cores around graveyard hours (~midnight to 8 AM), which can lower the chance of oversleeping with subsequent naps and another core in the late afternoon. This late afternoon core likely behaves the same as the daytime core on Triphasic, giving mixed SWS and REM. However, up to date, there is very limited success with TC2, because of its scheduling.

So far, there are very few adaptations to TC2 because of its massively inconvenient scheduling, with multiple sleep blocks intruding normal social hours that require wake time. 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-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.
