Line 49: − − {{TNT|Segmented-ext}} − − ===Extended/Non-reducing=== − The difference between Segmented-extended and non-reducing Segmented is that the former can reduce some sleep for long sleepers, whereas the latter aims not to reduce any sleep (e.g, 4.5-4.5 core combo for 9h sleeper). The non-reducing variant is believed to resemble the historical sleep pattern in pre-industrial Europe. Both variants occupy hours in both evening and morning, which can clash with social commitments. − − Compared to the default or other reducing variants, these two allow for some flexibility of either core, even during adaptation, and naturally segmented sleepers can adapt to the schedule by simply follow their natural patterns of tiredness. One success from the non-reducing variant (~6.5h total sleep on average) has the first core being ~4.5h long consistently while the second core hovers around 2h. This suggests that non-reducing variants can still be utilized by short sleepers to achieve a flexible Segmented schedule. For non-natural Segmented sleepers, it is still advisable to try to sleep at the same time everyday for each core sleep. − − However, without reducing total sleep, it is expected that it will be significantly harder to fall asleep, which may contribute to the difficulty of the adaptation.
REMOVED NON-REDUCING
For this variant, the core gap can be smaller than the default, because of the higher SWS pressure prior to core 2.
