Because Bimaxion contains 2 core sleeps to support SWS requirements, it is more flexible than Dymaxion after adaptation, but only to a small extent. The naps ''may'' be somewhat flexible, but it is unlikely that the cores will be as flexible. So far, only one sleep mutant has been able to make Bimaxion highly flexible as a pathway to adapt to DUCAMAYL. It is only reasonable that only a low sleep requirement would be able to enjoy a flexible Bimaxion.

The naps ''may'' be somewhat flexible, but it is unlikely that the cores will be as flexible. So far, only one sleep mutant has been able to make Bimaxion highly flexible as a pathway to adapt to DUCAMAYL. This sleeper also stayed on Bimaxion for several months comfortably without any health issues, proving that Bimaxion may be sustained for an extended period of time. It is then only reasonable that only a low sleep requirement would be able to enjoy a flexible Bimaxion.
    
Like other schedules with 4 sleep blocks each day, Bimaxion can actually fit into a consistent lifestyle with '''9-to-5 work hours''' as long as a nap around noon is permitted. The short daytime naps provide alertness to help fulfill the remaining vital sleep stages while not being too long to be interrupted by certain events if there is room to schedule them. Compared to DC2, it offers an even more impressive amount of sleep reduction, at the cost of a grueling adaptation and potential inflexibility after adaptation. Light exercises are also forgiving on this schedule thanks to both deep core sleeps, but it is doubtful that the body can recover from a hard workout quickly enough, with normal sleep requirements.
