Eucharistic Adoration is attended by a scant amount of believers percentage-wise.

Of course not!

It's a big waste of time!

Hmmmm, who to believe? You or Pope Benedict XVI:

"In a world where there is so much noise, so much bewilderment, there is a need for silent adoration of Jesus concealed in the Host. Be assiduous in the prayer of adoration and teach it to the faithful. It is a source of comfort and light, particularly to those who are suffering. With the Synod Assembly, therefore, I heartily recommend to the Church's pastors and to the People of God the practice of Eucharistic Adoration, both individually and in community." -Pope Benedict XVI, February 22, 2007, Sacramentum Caritatis, Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation.

I don't think so.

A person does need time to prepare themselves for reception of His Presence as can be found/discerned in partaking of communion, if in result that to be discernible but at isolated hours of (His) visitation.

The need for purposed identifying of just what it is that is to be partaken of, is also much why there remains measures of validity in liturgical presentation itself as not only Romanists speak of such things, but the various Orthodox and "high church" Anglicans also (them all sharing similar wording in invocation & epiklesis though having some amount of disagreement concerning the entire affairs) while in worship in spirit and in truth any may find Christ present in the bread & the wine though curiously this be not the only way He may be worshiped, adored, communed with and the worshiper responded to and communed with by even Himself -- which is again yet more of the mystery.

For those who have yet to encounter Him in this manner -- focus upon simple "this is" the body broken for us may be helpful. "Who do you say that I am", He asked the many.

For those whom have encountered Him in this manner and had Him minister to them deeply, indescribably but life-changingly so, then more power to you my friend.

As for those whom can tell us all about the outsides of the thing (by thing I mean the worship itself, and the accumulated trappings and customs -- not God Himself) declaring they always find Him there but do not or have yet to --- it would tickle me pink if I could occasionally call down the cone of silence from the ceiling, as seen in that 1960's sitcom, Get Smart;
