After an adaptation to a schedule with exclusively 90m core sleeps has been completed, the brain has replaced its standard sleeping schedule and adjusted to the new reduced sleep total. It is then possible to '''slowly shift the core sleeps''', which contain highly repartitioned SWS and REM without reducing sleep quality, rather than flexing when adapting to strict sleep times. However, moved cores also contain less SWS/REM than a strictly timed core, thus resulting in a varying number of core sleeps from day to day. Each core sleep supposedly only gives a slightly different amount of vital sleep percentage from day to day as adapted from a strict base schedule. Each core sleep serves to maintain the required amount of SWS and REM each day to boost well-being and alertness around the clock.

Schedule 4 core sleeps on average each day, each core sleep lasting for 90 m. Core spacing should take into account natural periods of drowsiness and [[wikipedia:Slow-wave_sleep|SWS]]/[[wikipedia:Rapid_eye_movement_sleep|REM]] peaks. It is more common to stay awake for longer periods in the day (6+ hours) while shorter around [[Graveyard hours|graveyard]]/morning hours (2-3h) between each core. A core sleep can be extended by 90 m once adapted to make up for a missing core from the previous day, or a short [[Naps|nap]] (10-15m) can be occasionally added to the schedule after adapted in case of a long wake gap that does not allow a full core to be scheduled. The number of cores taken each day may vary everyday or on an occasional basis.
