When I first started polyphasic sleep I often woke up after just 10m of sleep. Sometimes I would stay up, sometimes I would go back to sleep.
IMO, it's better to go back to sleep. I know the hip mantra is "quality over quantity," but in my adaptation experiences I've found that a little bit of extra quantity can help a lot.
I think one of my main problems during my first adaptation attempt was that I was too concerned about nap lengths, and I often experimented with 15-20m naps (even 10m sometimes, if I woke up naturally). Setting my alarm for 30m flat made the transition easier. I'm not sure, but I think that once I'm 100% adapted, I can experiment with ~15m naps, but for now I'm finding little harm in taking the safe route of 25-30m naps.
