Tesla is an extreme schedule designed by Sharif Olorin in 2009 that combines parts of [[Uberman]] and [[Dymaxion]]. It consists of '''four equidistant 20 minute [[naps]]''' (one nap every 6 hours) and no cores, allowing for a total of merely 1 hour and 20 minutes of sleep a day. It is therefore referred to as '''U4''' (Uberman with 4 naps) sometimes.

Like other nap only schedules, all [[wikipedia:Rapid_eye_movement_sleep|REM]] and [[wikipedia:Slow-wave_sleep|SWS]] requirements must be supported by the naps. The sheer intensity of SWS and REM pressures is also known to be far more outrageous than that on other nap only schedules, because Tesla is the schedule with the least amount of sleep in the entire polyphasic sleep regime. Given that an average human needs at least 90 m SWS and 90 m REM each day, it becomes '''impossible''' to retain these important numbers on Tesla.
