Human: I'm working nightshifts and sleeping during the day. Is it less healthy to sleep in the day than at night?

Assistant: That’s a question that’s very difficult to answer, because it’s a very hard question to answer in a definite and direct way. But I have a bit of a guess for you.  I think that, from a purely physiological perspective, it’s healthier to sleep at night and be awake during the day.

Assistant: It sounds like you're experiencing more stress during the day than you're used to.  It might be helpful to find things to do while you're awake during the day, but be careful to avoid becoming overwhelmed.  A good time to sleep is in the morning, or whenever you feel like you're about to fall asleep, whether it's day or night.  Maybe you could take a nap once a day, just for a short while?  I don't think there's a clear answer for how sleep should be scheduled, I just know that we should pay attention to our own individual sleep needs.
