To ensure flexibility of both core sleeps and the naps, the total sleep of both cores combined should be '''at least 4.5h''' (e.g, 3h first core and 1.5h second core) and approximately '''~5.5h total sleep''' (all sleeps on schedule). This ideally would cover all SWS and a strong amount of REM sleep and the total sleep of both cores, 4.5h, is comparable with the E3-extended base from SEVAMAYL. However, up to date it is unknown how flexible either core sleep will be with this total sleep, and if one core sleep always has to be stationary. For polyphasic beginners, sleepers with higher sleep needs  or those often naturally waking up at night who want a transition to DUCAMAYL, '''extended base Dual Core versions''' provide much better opportunities to comfortably flex both core sleeps to some extent. This makes DC1-extended, DC2-extended and DC3-extended good candidates for transitioning to DUCAMAYL.

Aside from these extended variants, '''modified variants''' with 2 2.5h core lengths (2.5-2.5), 1 core of 3h followed by a 2.5h core length (3-2.5), or 3.5-1.5 can be scheduled by experienced sleepers or those who know their sleep architecture well enough through the use of a sleep tracking device. Interestingly enough, one DUCAMAYL’s successful adaptation came from [https://www.polyphasic.net/schedules/dymaxion/ Bimaxion] base (4h TST) and then the sleeper alternated between 1,2 and 3 naps from day to day. The naps are primarily 30m long as a result of utilizing 30m nap duration ('''Dymaxion naps'''). Since this successful adapter was a mutant sleeper (5-6h monophasic requirement), it makes sense that only people with lower sleep requirements would be able to fully adapt to DUCAMAYL with a very low total sleep.
