None of these things have borne out in my experience. I always felt more awake, more present. I Was never as tired as with monophasic, especially during an afternoon slump. I didn't need coffee/tea, I was just fine all the time.
Similarly my body didn't suffer. I've done weight training, marathon training, university, and work while also polyphasic, and nobody complained or worried about my health.
The only negative I experienced after acclimation was that I was single, and asking a potential partner to just chill out for 25 minutes while I take a nap during a long date or an activity was very awkward and never progressed past the initial phases of the relationship.

It's all great making this sacrifice for more productivity/time in the day but does it take its toll on you visibly as you get older especially when it comes to physical appearance- do you look tired all the time? Do you people mention you look older than you really are- stuff like- I am wondering please what people's experiences have been?
