Similar to Tri Core sleep, an advantage of QC schedule(s) is that they divide the day into several awake blocks with 4 core sleeps spreading across the day. Because different core sleeps yield different percentages of sleep types, this supports alertness and wakefulness and keeps homeostatic pressure low. Unlike schedules with a 6h uninterrupted core sleep, QC promotes deeper sleep compression with its single-cycle core sleeps, despite its decently high total sleep.

== History ==
The first QC schedule, QC0, contains '''no naps and only 4 core sleeps'''. It was briefly mentioned in the [https://www.amazon.com/Ubersleep-Nap-Based-Schedules-Polyphasic-Lifestyle-ebook/dp/B00E1XAD7W/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=ubersleep&qid=1605240955&sr=8-1 Ubersleep]book by Puredoxyk under the name “Alternate Segmented” variant. However, there was no adaptation success ever reported at that date, until 2020. No optimal scheduling was mentioned in the book either. There have been some attempts up to date, but with limited success. Currently, QC0 is one of the 5 polyphasic schedules with ''only core sleeps'' (the other 4 being Segmented, Siesta, CAMAYL and Triphasic).
