At least on the 747 some of your trips will take off at night. fly during the day and land at night. Sometimes the opposite- day-night-day.
12-13 hour legs crossing several time zones is hard on the body. Do it for a career and it probably will shorten your life slightly.
It sure seems like we do more night vs day.
