While I was monophasic, 30 minutes after waking up would be about when I started to open my eyes. A study done by Claudio Stampi (I think it’s in his book Why We Nap) showed that polyphasic sleepers, after experiencing one night of monophasic sleep, perform better on mental tests - and keep performing better, even after returning to polynapping.
