Olorin and his friend only stayed adapted on Tesla for only for short period of time. Feeling of restfulness on nap-only schedules can be misleading due to sudden changes between restfulness and extreme tiredness. The ability for REM sleep to enter the naps (and can give intensely vivid dreams) can create a strong illusion of the refreshing feel after that nap. It is possible that the both of them mistook the prolonged feeling of restfulness for adaptation while, in fact, they were still in the adaptation phase. A typical 20 m nap at first will grant the avoidance of SWS wakes for some time, but on Tesla, the soul-crushing sleep pressure will quickly place SWS at the end of each nap, resulting in abhorrent wakes from them. It is unclear if they have truly been adapted to the schedule according to current standards.

It is therefore unclear if they have truly been adapted to the schedule according to current standards.

Other than the [[cold turkey]] approach, it may be possible to gradually adapt to Tesla, after one has completed an adaptation to Uberman, by cutting out 2 naps and slightly rotate the remaining 4 naps. However, no one has succeeded with this gradual adaptation method either.

Adaptation to Tesla is absolutely the most horrific experience for any average sleepers who would want to attempt it. There is no successful adaptation to Tesla known to the community to this date.

Tesla is considered to be the single most difficult schedule out of the listed ones. Other than Olorin and his friend's possible adaptation, there has been no documented success with this schedule. Attempting this schedule with the goal of adaptation is therefore not recommended, especially for beginners.

A lot of health concerns (especially long term) are raised by skeptics and average sleepers about whether the Tesla "mythology" would even be possible. Because of the gigantic amount of sleep reduction, it may attract a lot of attempts. The first concern is the immediate red flag of the [[wikipedia:Glymphatic_system|glymphatic system]]. Tesla has no core sleeps to sustain the continuity that the glymphatic system would usually operate (at least ~60 m of uninterrupted SWS), so whether the brain would work efficiently enough to clear out all toxin wastes long-term puts Tesla in a very unfavorable spot. The consequences of the failing glymphatic system can easily accelerate the risks and formation of '''neurodegenerative diseases''' (e.g, Alzheimer's).
