Given Trimaxion's structure of sleep, it resembles a shortened [[E3|Everyman 3]], with the core sleep only lasting for 1 full cycle (90 m). It is classified as an extreme Everyman schedule with 1 core sleep and also more than 1 short nap. However, the concept and design behind Trimaxion still follows the '''Dymaxion-style of sleep''', with each sleep block looking somewhat equidistant from one another. By the standard, there is a sleep block around midnight, sunrise hours, noon and mid/late afternoon. As with the case of Bimaxion, which is placed on "E3-tier" compared to Uberman, Trimaxion is equivalent to "E4-tier" compared to Uberman. There is only one core sleep to support SWS around midnight hours and the glymphatic system at the bare minimum.

As acknowledged that an average human needs approximately '''90 m of [[wikipedia:Rapid_eye_movement_sleep|REM]] and [[wikipedia:Slow-wave_sleep|SWS]] each''' for optimal body and mind functions each day, the total sleep of Trimaxion is not sufficient to account for this basic sleep requirements, considering that at least some amount of [[wikipedia:Non-rapid_eye_movement_sleep|light sleep]] is always present in any sleep blocks to transition between light sleep and vital sleep. As a result, it takes individuals with '''reduced SWS/REM requirements''' (or both) to be able to adapt to, and sustain Trimaxion in the long run. The naps are to contain REM sleep, and possibly even mixed SWS and REM because of the intense sleep pressure in the day. SWS and REM pressure will climb over a long period of days rather than being alleviated because of the limited total sleep. Attempting to sustain this schedule will cause <u>chronic [[sleep deprivation]]</u> in average humans, and thus polyphasic beginners and average sleepers should completely avoid this schedule.
