The second and third core sleeps are likely to resemble the two cores on [[Dual core]] schedules, with the first one containing mainly [[SWS]] and the second core containing mostly [[REM]]. The first core is likely to be mixed, similar to the day core in [[Siesta]] or [[Triphasic]]. The daytime naps help boost alertness levels during the day, and may provide a minor amount of REM sleep along with light sleep.
