It's fine to glance at the mirror from time to time, but making it obvious that you know you're being observed is likely to be interpreted as a challenge to the polygrapher's authority.

Your questioning after half an hour might have been taken as a sign of impatience, however, and may not have been a bad thing.

why are examinees, when left alone in the polygraph room for a long period of time, not supposed to look at the two-way mirror?

i recall that when i was left alone for like AN HOUR during my poly (that i was told i passed), after about 1/2 hour i looked at what i assumed was a two-way mirror and said "hello??"
