hai,
sleep is to be experienced only at night.sleep in dark(night) will have a influence with brain and the whole body and secret some biochemical substances that will help you in being healthy.
day sleep is not advisable. as you are working at night shift,plan your sleep. because sleep is ultimately a big rejuvenation to brain and body.
make your environment dark by not allowing the light in your room while you sleep in day time.Light suppresses the secretion of the sleep-inducing substance melatonin.
have a sound sleep.
thank you
Hope i answered your query.
