More sleeps

Experimental schedule

This schedule has only been done by very few individuals, and as such, the true difficulty is not yet determined. Please attempt only if you have experience. If you attempt this schedule, please report back in an issue (-> contributing) or at .
MX can be done with more naps, for a nearly MOCAMAYL-like experience. In fact, it might be possible to adapt to MOCA this way, though it might take a bit longer. Difficulty is similar to MX-base, though most of the risks of MOCA carry over. This makes it lie somewhere between MOCA and MX. The core usually has to be relatively long still but can be reduced over time with a bit of luck.

Difficulty

Mostly like MX, but with several aspects of AMAYL instability. Somewhere between MX and MOCA.

Relationship to MOCA and base MX

LikeAttribute
MOCAMany naps
MXNaps may be longer than 25mins, afternoon core has a chance of positive effects
MXNon-reducing; if tired, sleep more; no stage3
Slowly reducing adaptation to MOCA may be possible given enough time
MXFlexible core
MOCANaps are a nontrivial share of TST and thus necessary to feel well

Gradual adaptation to MOCA

Gradual adaptation to MOCA, if possible, involves slowly giving up the benefits of MX for more reduction. This means no more flexible core (most likely), no more afternoon cores, and a period of at least some level of tiredness whenever the core is reduced further. However, if done slowly enough, naps should be able to make up for that missing sleep enough to bypass stage3 and perform a MOCA adaptation without a rigid M3e or similar one first.
