I don't think that's an entirely accurate statement for everyone but I can only combat it with statements about myself, so we'll just say that's true. Even so, without recreating daylight, shouldn't the opposite eventually become true for a segment of the population? Of course, I know things like this take a long time but, if the opposite is biologically true for some of us and not just myself there would be more opportunity for us to thrive economically and socially living our lives at night. It could be that being able to lead fulfilling lives makes us happier and more socially successful, more likely to find mates and have children, pass that anomaly on to future generations, etc.
Don't get me wrong, I love the idea. I think it's really interesting and I've never actually considered it before. I'm just saying there are a couple big obstacles to tackle before we can reach that point. The brain has a structure called the suprachiasmatic nucleus, which interprets the light that comes into the eyes. It uses this information to release hormones like melatonin which cause drowsiness and sleep. It is true that you could block out light during the day and receive artificial light at night, but it has been shown that disruption of Circadian rhythm can cause metabolic problems in humans (ex: http://edrv.endojournals.org/content/31/1/1.long). But because this rhythm is just a 24 hour cycle, it would seem possible to have it completely reversed. It would be interesting to see the results of something like that.
