First created as part of the <u>Formula</u> in Ubersleep, Everyman 1, or E1, is part Everyman and part Biphasic. Puredoxyk considered that each full cycle of a core sleep is equivalent to a nap full of REM. Starting with a '''7.5-8h''' monophasic baseline, cutting out 90m from the core sleep (to make E1 core of 6h) is compensated by a daytime nap that ideally gives REM sleep and to ease new polyphasic sleepers into daytime napping. Because of the sleep cut from the core, sleep deprivation will gradually build up, and enable sleepers to effectively learn and master the short 20m daytime nap. This napping mastery method is possibly a lot easier than learning to nap on a non-reduced Biphasic schedule (e.g, Biphasic-X), because there is more sleep pressure generated from a shortened nocturnal core sleep than from an almost intact nocturnal core sleep on a non-reduced Biphasic pattern.

If the adaptation to E1 is completed after a reasonable amount of time (within 2 months), it is possible to proceed to E2 and E3 as parts of the Everyman schedule line as a gradual adaptation method.

With the common trend to schedule the E1 core at 11 PM or midnight-ish (with good management of dark period, food and exercise), E1 does offer versatility in scheduling. A lot of variations have been tried, succeeded and even maintained for an extended period of time (at least 6 months) by a couple E1 sleepers. It is wise to consider these options before deciding on which scheduling variant to try.
