Two main schedule types have been practiced by humans since time immemorial: Segmented -- with two long sleep in the night separated by a wake gap, and Siesta -- one long sleep in the night and a shorter sleep in the afternoon. Of course, the schedule timings of the ancient people are more flexible and thus likely contains more total sleep than the current standard ones.

Most current polyphasic sleep schedules evolve from monophasic sleep as well as the above two historically common schedules.
The [[Biphasic]] line of schedules consists of the two historical polyphasic schedules, as well as E1, which is also considered a variant of siesta in an Everyman style.
The [[Everyman]] line of schedules are formed by removing sleep cycles in the end of monophasic sleep, and adding naps to compensate for the lost time in REM and sustain wakefulness.
The [[Dual core]] line of schedules does the same thing, except to [[Segmented]] instead of monophasic sleep.
Over the decades, the polyphasic sleep community has developed several lines of schedules that have been known to work.
