Besides getting no sunlight, is it bad to be a nocturnal human? It's not conducive to working during business hours at least.
Studies have shown that night time shift workers ain't as healthy as day time workers. Don't ask me for proof.
I'll take your word for it ๐ซก
In winter I think it's bad to be nocturnal, you need Vitamin D exposure. In other seasons, you'll get enough incidental Vitamin D exposure, so as long as being nocturnal doesn't reduce your mood.
I believe it is most productive to work to your body clock preferences, whether you are an early bird or night owl. Societal arrangements generally favour early birds, so some of us are just permanent double shot caffeine addicts in the A.M.
