Ill try biphasic sleep, maybe i have more luck with this one.

But i cant take a nap between 7pm-11:30pm

So i'll have my nap between 4:30pm-6pm and have my core sleep between 0am-4:30am

I got some questions though.

1. While i can have this sleeping schedule easily during weekdays, in weekends it might be hard to hold the habit (friday and saturday). Sometimes i'll only go sleep at around 4am in the weekend. Assuming i've already established an habit, can i easily go back to biphasic sleeping on the weekdays?

2. In the first 21 days of developing the habit, what if i screw it for one or two days like sleeping later than i should for core sleep or sleeping too much (i have this problem, i turn the alarm off without noticing it)?

I know that every person has slightly different sleeping needs so i would only know the answer for these questions by trying it for myself, but i would appreciate some insight or similar experiences you biphasic sleepers have had.
