Hey all,

If possible, I want to learn to shift from sleeppatterns:

One, almost always possible is the 22:00 to 23:00 bedtime to 5:00 wake time.
I think I have to flex this pattern a bit to 5:30 or so cause for a period I was quite tired. It was quite stable, but these are still long days for me.

And the other I like is the 'Every man' schedule. The uberman is not realistic possible for me. But the 'Every man' is.

Schedule: 0:30 - 3:30 core sleep, 8:00, 12:30, 20:00 naps.

My question is, is it just training to go a pattern of:

Mon: Every Man
Tue: Every Man
Wed: Every Man
Thu: Every Man
Fri: Steve Pavlina (SP) pattern (From 12:00 - 22:00 I want to be available for work)
Sat: SP pattern
Sun: SP pattern

Or I am I just jojoing then.. and achieve nothing??

Update: It sounds quite good to vary coresleep and number of naps.
e.g. extending coresleep to 3 cycles of 1.5 hour (0:30 - 5:00) and skipping one or two naps.
