FP,
Sure everyone should do what makes them happy. Humans live and work between sun up and sun down. They sleep at night. They also enjoy taking a few days off together each week so they can rest, pursure hobbies and socialize in unison. Pilots often show up for work when others are going to bed and then drag themselves into the seclusion of a dank hotel room as the blazing sun is peaking above the horizon. When pilots are off it is usually when the rest of the world is away working and they enjoy the time alone. Seems more like the life of a vampire but as long as it makes you happy.
