Haven't tried to go from biphasic to poly, but I'm in the process of trying to go from mono to poly. Haven't completed it yet. I was going so well for the first 4 days, but then all of the sudden instead of adapting to sleeping less I adapted to sleep through my alarm clock. No big deal since I normally waked myself up before the alarm went off This persisted for the next 2 days where I did okay, but the next two I overslept for a few hours, and yesterday and today I accidently slept about 6 hours!!!!
Today I got a new alarm clock to try out which is much noisier!
Now, the question, because I essentially got a full nights sleep the last two nights, I wonder if I'm going to have to essentially restart my transition state. Another problem with my previous method was that I set my alarm for 20 minutes, but it probably took me ten minutes to fall asleep each time, so I might not have been getting full 20 min naps. I'm going to keep trying for a while with my alarm clock set for 30 mins, and using this clock I doubt I can sleep through. If I succeed I'll slowly lower the amount of time to 20 mins as I get better at falling asleep.
