Is it normal to want to sleep all day and work all night?

I have always loved being awake at night and sleeping all day. My girlfriends in college used to call me a vampire because I never wanted to be awake during the day. One professor actually called me a troglodyte. On school vacations I would almost never see the sunlight. Now that I am older I have chosen a profession on the internet that allows me to stay at home and work all night long and then go to bed at 6 or 7am when the sun comes up. Then I wake up at 3 or 4pm in the afternoon. I keep the blinds drawn everyday and I deplore appointments with people during normal work hours. I like the night because it is quiet - no phones ringing or people bothering me, and no traffic. I feel lucky to live this way. Is this normal?

    it's called being a night owl. lots of people prefer to live this way. there are plenty of jobs that can be done at night, whether blue or white collar.

    I'm a night owl too, my parents think I should get out more, because I hate going out during the day, and am in my room at night on the internet. I really want to work night shifts when I get a full time job!!

    I'm hoping to be put on the night shift at work, when I have time off I'm never up in daylight hours either.
