Adapting to E4 is very harsh, if at all possible, involving extreme levels of sleep deprivation, similar to a milder version of Uberman. SWS is almost certainly cut short at the start of the adaptation, and it is very difficult to fit all of the needed amount into the short core. REM sleep will need to almost entirely be moved to naps. Sleepers with average vital sleep baselines (~90 minutes each of SWS and REM sleep) are unlikely to be able to sustain this schedule, and will likely incur chronic [[wikipedia:Sleep_deprivation|sleep deprivation]] should they remain on the schedule.

It may be possible to transition to E4 as a [[gradual adaptation]] from E3, but no one has successfully adapted this way. As E4 is likely below the threshold for many people, this transition may be impossible regardless of the method. The few people who have adapted to it so far did so [[cold turkey]]. E4 can also be a fallback for Uberman fails, but it has also not been sustainable for most people who attempted.
