Imagine a world where no one would want to take the night shift.

I always thought Early Bird/Night Owl were just two different modes, like right or left handedness.

But while right and left handedness appear to be +/- selectively neutral (these days at least), a percentage of night owls in society would appear to confer a selective advantage.

Having a potential oral medication would give night owls a new superpower: An ability to switch shifts at the drop of the hat; or at least much more easily than the early birds.

In industrial programming you often need to take the customer's shifts into account; so this could be useful to a few colleagues of mine!
