| Like other “-AMAYL” polyphasic schedules, erratic lifestyles greatly benefit them. It would be, however, a better idea to slightly flex the Dual Core base schedule rather than adopting DUCAMAYL if flexibility is limited with consistent work or social commitments. Unlike, SEVAMAYL, however, DUCAMAYL has the second core sleep around dawn that can boost alertness for several hours ahead. This can pave the way for certain jobs with long wake gap(s) from morning to early afternoon hours without having to rest. The second core of DUCAMAYL (on variants with at least ~5h total sleep of both cores) limits the amount of needed daytime naps, and needing only 1 daytime nap on certain days can allow for a lot of uninterrupted waking hours. | | Like other “-AMAYL” polyphasic schedules, erratic lifestyles greatly benefit them.

| Like other “-AMAYL” schedules (except SPAMAYL), once adapted it is possible to '''occasionally extend either core sleep by 90m''' in the event of slight sickness, somewhat more tiredness, stress or heavy gym workouts. This extension should not be done more than once per 7 or 10 days. Nap durations can also become a lot more versatile on some occasions, being able to be extended to '''30m-40m''' (for early/late morning naps) in experienced sleepers or reduced to '''5-10m''' in the case of emergency that does not allow for the usual 20m, or when it gets late in the day (after ~5:30 PM) to avoid more grogginess upon waking. | | Like other “-AMAYL” schedules (except SPAMAYL), once adapted it is possible to '''occasionally extend either core sleep by 90m''' in the event of slight sickness, somewhat more tiredness, stress or heavy gym workouts.
