[[File:DC2-mod 3.png|center|thumb|A DC2-modified variant with the same sleep duration for both cores]]
This DC2 variant offers a somewhat higher total sleep than usual (not high enough to be grouped into the extended category), and both core sleeps last for 2.5h each. So far there has only been one success with this variant, however. The premise behind this variant is to '''provide some buffer total sleep to advance to DUCAMAYL''' with both cores becoming flexible. This example sets the consideration for appropriate core durations to ensure that they can receive some flexibility after adaptation. Because of the highly uncommon and ill-advised 2.5h core duration, beginners and inexperienced polyphasic sleepers should avoid this variant.

An easier way to schedule a similar amount of sleep duration for both cores is to have a '''3.5h core and a 1.5h core''' respectively. The 3.5h core duration has been used in E3 in a lot of successful adaptations and the idea behind it is to make use of the potential +30m from the 3h mark for more REM sleep (even though the better statistically likely REM period is oftentimes a 5h core). Once adaptation is complete, it may become more comfortable to flex both core sleeps.
