It's part of the evolution of man. Many of the
smartest and more solitary of animals are hunters
and nocturnal. Thousands of years of farming culture
has forced man into a daylight regime, but now with
electric lights etc we can develop further. Those
who prefer living in the stillness of night have
often been shunned or persecuted (ie the stupid
"vampire" myth) but it is now slowly becoming more
accepted that "thinking" workers may prefer to do
their work during the nights. I also disagree with
the doctors that general lack of UV always causes
depression, I think there is a definite *phase* of
adaptation where depression is a side effect and
once the phase is complete the night becomes the
preferred waking period and the day becomes something
of a hot, bright annoyance.

But then I like taking a contrary view to established
opinion so what would I know? <grin>
