An installed circadian assistant decreases [[Sleep Fall Rate]] by {{Good|-20%}}. This does ''not'' equal 20% less sleep. See [[#Sleep saved|Sleep Saved]] for the exact details. This modifier is applied ''before'' [[gene]]s and [[drug]]s, so in most situations it is equivalent to a simple {{Good|×80%}} factor.

When a pawn with this implant is shocked with [[EMP]], they will receive [[brain shock]], knocking them unconscious temporarily.

The circadian assistant increases work hours without impacting Consciousness like the [[Circadian half-cycler|half-cycler]]. However, this implant is virtually always worse for productivity than either a [[bionic arm]] or [[bionic leg]], depending on the type of work the colonist focuses on. The brain shock makes using [[EMP]] against [[mech]]s more difficult, but gives a way to safely down the pawn in case of a [[mental break]] or [[prison break]].
 
  
−
With high quality [[bed]]s, and/or other positive modifiers to rest, consider setting a pawn's [[schedule]] entirely to Anything. A pawn with greatly enhanced sleep will go beyond a 24 hour sleep schedule, which means that pawns will spend less time moving to/from their bed. Remember that being in [[light|darkness]] will reduce work speed by a significant percentage, unless there is [[Ideoligion#Lighting|something]] [[Genes#Dark vision|mitigating]] [[light|this]].

In essence, the circadian assistant only has an effect ''while the pawn is awake''. Therefore, '''actual sleep saving will always be lower''' than expected values.

For example, a baseline pawn in a normal [[bed]] would spend 18.19 hours awake per 7.56 hours sleeping, to avoid being Drowsy. The assistant increases awake time to (18.19/0.8), or 22.74 hours awake, without impacting the sleep needed.
+
For example, a baseline pawn in a normal [[bed]] would spend 18.19 hours awake per 7.56 hours sleeping. The assistant increases awake time to (18.19/0.8), or 22.74 hours awake, for the same sleep time.
  
−
* A baseline pawn in a normal bed spends (18.19 hr awake) / (7.56 + 18.19 hr total) = 70.6% of a day awake. Equal to 16.95 hr awake per 24 hour cycle, or 7.05 hours sleeping.
+
Therefore:
−
* With the circadian assistant, this becomes (22.74 hr awake) / (7.56 + 22.74 hr total) = 75.04% of a day awake. Equal to 18.01 hr awake per 24 hour cycle, or 5.99 hours sleeping.

−
This means that, in a normal bed, the circadian assistant actually reduces sleep time by roughly {{---|15%}}, or about 1.06 hours per day, rather than the expected -20%.
+
This means that the circadian assistant actually increases awake time by +4.44%, or about 1 hour per day, rather than the expected +20% or +25%. Increasing [[Rest Effectiveness]] or [[Rest Rate Multiplier]] will actually lower the amount of time savings of the circadian assistant.
  
−
Alternatively, you could say that the circadian assistant increases awake time by {{Good|x106.3%}}. Increasing [[Rest Effectiveness]] or [[Rest Rate Multiplier]] will actually lower the time savings of this implant. For example, a [[quick sleeper]] installing a circadian assistant would end up increasing awake time by {{Good|x104.5%}}, saving about 0.853 hours per 24-hour day compared to quick sleeper on its own.

=== Comparison to other bionics ===
 
−
With a rough baseline of actual sleep saved calculated above, it is possible to compare the ciradian assistant to other bionics.
 
−
 
 
−
[[Bionic arm]]s and [[bionic leg]]s increase [[Manipulation]] or [[Moving]] by +12.5%, per part, which increase work speed / travel speed by that amount. While "awake time" would increase both time working and travel time, the other parts are more specialized and thus are generally better at increasing a specific work's speed. In addition, both bionic arms and legs have ''some'' functional benefit in combat. Rest does ''not'' impact combat until 0% rest, where exhausted pawns will collapse on the ground.
 
  
−
If 2 bionic arms and/or 2 legs have already been installed, then the assistant offers a decent functional benefit. [[Bionic heart]]s offer {{Good|x105%}} Moving and an approximate 0.3 hour per day sleep reduction, so the circadian assistant would be better for work. However, it still confers an EMP weakness.
