It wants to creep around the clock, but some parts of that clock are more attractive than others. If I let it cycle, it'll go all the way around, which I don't really like; I've tried it in summer when I was younger. The morning hours are not when my body likes to be awake, so it would rush through that phase. It creeps slower through the evening and night hours. If I'm not careful, it creeps until I'm going to bed late enough in the morning that I don't sleep well. But the creep means that dialing it back can be challenging -- sometimes it works, other times it crashes into some other weird pattern that takes days to get back to a comfortable one.
It's not no circadian rhythm; it has a cycle, sort of.
It's not a 24-hour rhythm, or it wouldn't creep.
It's kind of like playing with loaded dice. It overlaps somewhat with various descriptions, but I haven't seen an exact match in a description anywhere. Since I'm not entirely human, that's no surprise.
It is somewhat malleable; I can compensate for jet lag easily, and I can kinda sorta keep a schedule that works for me, most of the time. But sometimes it goes off on a tangent for a while. Trying to keep a rigid schedule is a recipe for disaster; if I'm not sleepy then I just lie in bed for hours, and I'm almost never alert in the morning. :/
