AMAYL: As Much As You Like

AMAYL is a signifier for ultimate flexibility, meaning a flexible number of sleeps, done whenever desired within some time span.

When AMAYL is in place of a nap number, like in MOCAMAYL and DUCAMAYL, it means that the cores remain stiff, whereas the naps can be held whenever desired, as long as it is within the acceptable range for that schedule type. Usually this means only in the day gap and with some distance to the cores.

When AMAYL does not take the place of the nap number, it refers to the cores, like in ShortCoreAMAYL, the only schedule with a flexible amount of cores.

Distance

Normal gap rules apply, meaning sleeps should not be placed closer than 2h of gap (or 1.5h, depending on your confidence).

Difficulty

AMAYL schedules are inherently both more difficult and easier than their inflexible counterparts. This is caused by the fact that the sleeper needs to act very responsibly to ensure they don't end up sleeping too little and throwing off the schedule. At the same time, it is quite robust against external forces as naps can be moved such that they avoid being impacted.

Another issue is the potential to seize up (as with all other flexible schedules), which is especially prevalent in these schedules due to the high flexibility required to keep them alive.
