This variant, which resembles [[Segmented]], has also seen some success. This is often done by those who work evening shifts. In this setup, the [[dark period]] should start 1.5-3h before the night core, and continue until ~1.5-2h after the night core to stabilize the circadian rhythm. This setup might require additional [[circadian management]] to keep the circadian rhythm stable, as the longer daytime core may cause the body to mistaken it for a nighttime sleep.

=== Non-reducing variant with shortened daytime core===
=== Non-reducing variant ===
Under a non-reducing schedule, it can be natural to wake up after 60m. Without [[repartitioning]], all sleep cycles follow the regular order of NREM1, NREM2, SWS, NREM2 and finally REM sleep. Since little vital sleep has been removed, the body naturally wakes up before reaching REM. However, for reducing variants, 60m sleep blocks should not be scheduled from the start.

The non-reducing variant also offers much greater flexibility, both in sleep timings and in sleep lengths. Even when adapting, it is not required to strictly follow scheduled sleeps. The goal is to ensure maximum performance during the day.
