No, because humans are hardwired to be diurnal and there is very little we can do to change that. We have a prominant window of circadian low, and it's one of the biggest threats to pilots that fly at night (among other safety critical jobs) even if they have slept for 8+ hours right before their shift.
You might think you can function just fine at night, you might even think you function better at night, but science says otherwise.
That article you linked was a really interesting read. Thanks!
Sure, but would it be possible to artificially simulate a daylight cycle indoors, opposite of the outside one?
Sure, you wouldn't be able to go outside very much, but you'd at least have your active hours in the coolest part of the day.
Add in a bit of of CRISPR to smooth out the rough edges, would it be enough then?
