On the other hand, adaptation to Tesla is absolutely the most horrific experience for any average sleepers who would want to attempt it. From the same aforementioned study, the napping subjects quickly developed '''sleep aversion''', a phenomenon that is explained in the study as the fear of sleeping. This is because the level of sleep inertia skyrocketed and became unbearable for them, to the point that they found the upcoming naps "objectionable". Two of the subjects felt ill, four of them quit because of the ghastly sleep inertia, and then all the remaining subjects quit the study before it ended.

It is also worth noting that Olorin and his friend only stayed adapted on Tesla for a very short period of time. Feeling of restfulness on nap-only schedules can be misleading due to sudden changes between restfulness and extreme tiredness. The ability for REM sleep to enter the naps (and can give intensely vivid dreams) can create a strong illusion of the refreshing feel after that nap. It is possible that the both of them mistook the prolonged feeling of restfulness for adaptation while, in fact, they were still in the adaptation phase.

A typical 20m nap at first will grant the avoidance of SWS wakes for some time, but on Tesla, the soul-crushing sleep pressure will quickly place SWS at the end of each nap, resulting in abhorrent wakes from them.  
    
Oher than the cold turkey approach, it ''may'' be possible to gradually adapt to Tesla, after one has completed an adaptation to Uberman, by cutting out 2 naps and slightly rotate the remaining 4 naps. However, no one has succeeded with this gradual adaptation method either.
