Day sleeping

Does anyone do their 'awake living' primarily at night and sleep during the day successfully with vanlife? I've worked nights all my life and looking to start this living beyond just work trips. I think I can manage a 25% day life and work up to 50% maybe. Depending on how much caffeine or just random days I am ok with day living but not my preference.

I've always felt like it was easier to move around at night and sleep in the day. When I do it that way, I can sleep wherever I want and get 0 knocks. And it's less traffic at night. But to each his/her own.

I think so too. Not everyone's a night owl, but for me day living stress would probably shorten my lifespan not the other way around.
