Random often seems attractive, since it doesn't require adaptation, has plenty of different variants and patterns and simply is flexible enough to fit any lifestyle. However, over the decades of experience, polyphasic community faced several disadvantages of sleeping randomly.
First of all, irregular sleep/wake patterns are associated with poorer academic performance and delayed circadian and sleep/wake timing, different studies suggest[1]. This makes strict schedules preferable over those with a higher level of randomness.
It was also noticed in community that habitual random sleep often reduces discipline, which makes it difficult to adapt to strict sleep schedules afterwards. Moreover, random sleepers are more likely to have reduced sleep quality, which contributes to the adaptation difficulty as well.
