Up to date, there has been more adaptation success to SPAMAYL, especially with the use of longer naps. It is worth noting that "-AMAYL" polyphasic schedules are not made to be confined to a specific sleep duration all the time, and SPAMAYL is no exception. Any sleep duration can be lengthened, as long as it remains a nap. In the above demo example, a nap can last for as long as 60m, and longer naps around dawn (simulating a '''Pronap''') can be taken advantage of before work to limit the amount of naps during the morning work hours.

The reason why such nap lengths can work is largely attributed to the '''perpetually fragmented sleep''' in the case of insomniac individuals, who cannot sleep for longer than a couple minutes in one go. It is then possible to start waking up, staying awake after a given nap duration, and wait until they are sleepy enough for the next sleep. As a result, their ever-changing nap durations persist from day to day, allowing each nap to also change accordingly from day to day, or occasionally. The versatility in such nap duration, however, is only viable for individuals with very reduced sleep duration.
