First created as part of the <u>Formula</u> in Ubersleep, Everyman 1, or E1, is part Everyman and part Biphasic. Puredoxyk considered that each full cycle of a core sleep is equivalent to a nap full of REM. Starting with a '''7.5-8h''' monophasic baseline, cutting out 90m from the core sleep (to make E1 core of 6h) is compensated by a daytime nap that ideally gives REM sleep and to ease new polyphasic sleepers into daytime napping. Because of the sleep cut from the core, sleep deprivation will gradually build up, and enable sleepers to effectively learn and master the short 20m daytime nap. This napping mastery method is possibly a lot easier than learning to nap on a non-reduced Biphasic schedule (e.g, Biphasic-X), because there is more sleep pressure generated from a shortened nocturnal core sleep than from an almost intact nocturnal core sleep on a non-reduced Biphasic pattern.

Since E1 does offer a decent amount of sleep, it is then straightforward to transition to this schedule from monophasic sleep immediately. However, unlike other polyphasic schedules with less total sleep, learning to nap on E1 may take up to several weeks because humans have been observed to get used to sleeping monophasically for only 6h a night, due to work, stress and other environmental factors; this then leads to chronic sleep deprivation if personal monophasic baseline is usually higher (e.g, needing 8h per night for maximum daytime functions). Thus, it will take time for sleep pressure to build to be able to fall asleep in the naps. There are, however, '''exceptions''' to certain adaptation cases to E1 where falling asleep in the nap is facilitated after only a matter of days on the schedule. Individuals capable of doing this most likely have been experienced polyphasic sleepers, nappers, or have the ability to fall asleep during the day naturally without much tiredness.

Despite the biphasic nature (which bears resemblance to monophasic structure), adaptation to E1 follows the same rules as any other reducing polyphasic schedules; this means that it is necessary to go to sleep at the same time everyday for the nap and the core for the new sleep habits to stick. '''Exceptions''' are made when the total sleep on E1 (6.3h) is very close to, or the exact same as personal monophasic baseline - these individuals can then proceed to have a flexible nap while keeping a somewhat flexible core sleep from day to day, without having to stick to the sleep times by the minute during adaptation.

Even though E1 looks to be a straightforward polyphasic schedule to start with for beginners and non-nappers, the adaptation results from E1 adaptations in the community over the years do not reflect the notion that E1 is supposed to be an "easy" schedule. There have been many reported problems from beginners over the course of adaptations that prevented them from reaching the adapted state: inability to fall asleep in the nap despite several weeks in, high sleep onset for the nap after many weeks, or in some rarer cases, oversleeping from the nap consistently (which may suggest that these sleepers have a stronger tendency for a daytime core rather than a short nap, as an example). All of these issues, however, can be attributed to sleep debt prior to starting E1 adaptation, poor discipline, poor alarm system, or wrong assessment of personal monophasic sleep need (high sleep need which increases the difficulty of E1 to great magnitudes).

There have been many reported problems from beginners over the course of adaptations that prevented them from reaching the adapted state:  

 

* <u>inability to fall asleep in the nap</u> despite several weeks in

* in some rarer cases, <u>oversleeping from the nap consistently</u>. This may suggest that these sleepers have a stronger tendency for a daytime core rather than a short nap, as an example

 

All of these issues, however, can be attributed to sleep debt prior to starting E1 adaptation, poor discipline, poor alarm system, or wrong assessment of personal monophasic sleep need (higher sleep need than expected which increases the difficulty of E1 to great magnitudes).   

It is worth noting that the failure to nap after several weeks (despite adhering to the schedule by the minute and all methods have been used to facilitate napping) may be attributed to the '''BRAC''' in scheduling. What this means is that sleep pressure on E1 is generally lower than on other schedules with less total sleep, thus there are not many choices to pick several nap times that span across many hours in the day - the body may only feel the tiredness and drowsiness at some spots in the day. This as a result causes the nap to never stick because the body is '''consistently tired some time either before or after nap'''. The problem would be resolved if the nap is moved to those spots to give adequate recovery.
