I always felt better when I worked a second shift than when I work a first shift. In theory, I had far less sunlight exposure, but my sleep was better--I didn't have to wake up with an alarm, whereas getting up early in the morning requires me to use an alarm.

But like the article explains, I had less of a disruption in sleep patterns--I stayed up late every night, not go to bed early during the week, late on weekends.

So I guess, personally, sleep/sleep patterns has been more important for me than exposure to sunlight in terms of both mental and physical well-being.
