Can one sleep during the days and work during nights with no health damage?

It seems that doctors find that being a night owl is completely unacceptable. True or not?

There’s a lot of confounding effects that happen alongside having a nocturnal schedule without being caused by the act of sleeping during the day.

Like the fact that 99% of people aren’t on that schedule, so your socialization with others will be different. Or that your sleep will be different and possibly worse because it’s louder during the day.

I think you’re probably exaggerating that doctors believe it to be “completely unacceptable”. Just like a lot of things, a doctor can say that something is “a risk factor” or is “correlated with negative health outcomes” without themselves making a value judgement like you say in the text.
