Because Bimaxion possesses 2 core sleeps that are concentrated around the night hours, it sparks the traits of Dual Core sleep, where one core is always scheduled before midnight to take advantage of the SWS peak, while the other core is around sunrise hours for [[wikipedia:Rapid_eye_movement_sleep|REM]] sleep. At face value, Bimaxion coincidentally looks like a shortened [[DC2]] schedule where the core sleeps only have 1 full cycle, and an overall low total sleep. However, at its heart, Bimaxion is often considered "'''easier Dymaxion'''", just like how [[E3]] is to [[Uberman]]. Bimaxion's distribution of sleeps is made to '''closely resemble Dymaxion's''' - one sleep around midnight, another around dawn, late morning/noon and mid/late-afternoon hours. Bimaxion, therefore, is one of the two "-maxion" schedules that theoretically can pave the way for a transition to a Dymaxion adaptation. To make the schedule sustainable, the first core sleep now has to be placed in the SWS peak to get as much quality SWS as possible. The second core will be dedicated to REM sleep, and the naps provide different types of sleep. The first nap, being early in the day, is bound to give a lot of REM sleep, while the second nap can give only NREM2, or potentially some more SWS as the SWS core alone does not provide enough SWS for a regular 90m SWS requirements each day.
