Default Biphasic Sleeping Schedule - must sleep at same time each day?

I am interested in starting a Biphasic Sleeping Schedule. But before I do, I have a couple of questions...

1. I have school and work on different times each day, so I was wondering if it would be fine to take my core sleep (4.5 hours) and nap (90 minutes) at different times each day (whenever my schedule allows it).
-For example, one day I may have my core sleep from 3:30am-8:00am and then have my nap from 7:45pm-9:15pm.
-Another day my schedule may only allow me to do something like: Core sleep from 12:00am-4:30am and Nap from 6:30pm-7:45pm.

Would something like that work, or would I have to sleep at approximately the same time each day for the Biphasic Sleeping Schedule to even be effective?

2. Is it even worth it to try a Biphasic Sleeping Schedule rather than just a Monophasic? I personally think the idea of a Polyphasic would be awesome, but it would simply not work out with my life's schedule having to take so many naps.

Thanks.

I'm also interested in the answer to the first question. Sorry if it's been posted before.
