Does the polyphasic sleep ever interfere with work, family or other obligations?

I've heard that's the hardest part of polyphasic. How long have you kept this up? I'm curious

Back when i was a single grad student i would do a few months at a time for years. 4-8am and 6-10pm were pretty good slots, as i could still go out at night if i wanted, and i didn't find it very burdensome. Now that I'm married it makes less sense.

One of the other advantages to this pattern is it's relatively easy to start and stop. I frequently use it as a stepping stone when fighting jet lag by inserting a half cycle.
