Line 30: − − === Non-reducing === − [[File:Non-reducing.png|center|thumb|Non-reducing Triphasic]] − Non-reducing Triphasic is rarely ever attempted, but recently there have been some attempts, mostly from underage population. It is unclear what the advantages would be with such a bulky and seemingly cumbersome sleep distribution, compared to Triphasic-extended. Success rate is also very rare, only a case or two. The adaptation is potentially even easier than Triphasic-extended, but this variant is only for short-term, or those who cannot in any way sleep in one long chunk at night. The niches are very small, and despite a lot of sleep, it may not be totally friendly to underage individuals, who are better with a non-reducing biphasic pattern instead.

Alternatively, it may be possible to '''extend the REM core to 3h''' instead of the SWS core in the evening, which may be beneficial for social hours in the evening or less sleep in the early evening hours. However, it has no known official successes to date. Although it is worth noting that a sleeper with low SWS needs and high REM needs may benefit from this Triphasic-extended variant.
