Changes

When adaptation first begins, SWS will resume in all core sleeps as the normal flow of a normal sleep cycle, where light sleep begins, then SWS continues and then finally REM sleep finishes the cycle. In the second core, SWS pressure may be weaker than REM pressure, allowing for some REM sleep to get in this core. However, as adaptation progresses, both SWS and REM deprivation symptoms are likely to manifest because of the extreme repartitioning of these vital sleep stages into each core sleep to follow the homeostatic and circadian pressures. This will make the first core very difficult to wake from, because of prevalent SWS wakes, which was reported to result in oversleep until the second core. During the whole adaptation, the daytime core is likely the easiest to handle, and can shorten to '''as low as 60m''' after adaptation. Because of the high repartitioning of sleep stages on merely 4.5h total sleep, Triphasic offers a lot of sleep reduction along with a high level of sleep compression.

Aside from the non-equidistant Triphasic scheduling which has proven to be viable by a couple sleepers, the most popular and widely successful version is the extended version.
