I tried polyphasic sleep a month for fun, and this was my experience as well: feeling a bit out of touch with reality.

I've never done drugs, alcohol or tobacco, but I've been a messy sleeper most of my life. Night owl as long as I could get away with it, pulling all-nighters, sleeping a whole day, staying awake for a few days to set a personal record, etc. Even for me, polyphasic sleep was too disorienting, as if I wasn't fully awake when awake, and not fully asleep when asleep.
