I'm in business.
But you can get night jobs. Night shift doctors, nurses, paramedics, geriatrics, police, night club dj, dancer, online casino, trading, etc.

There are tradoffs to everything. Such as disrupting ones natural sleep cycle. The one we were meant to have. Even if taking melatonin it's not optimal to not sleep at night.

Hey Forever21, does natural sunlight enter your room in the morning? Or do you find a way to block it all out during the daytime? I think it's quite possible to trick your body into thinking that it's night all the time. And I'm definitely looking for some windowshade that could possibly block out ALL light.
You can just use those "natural sunlight" lamps

Even incandescent light bulbs block out melatonin production though

Completely blocked.
Look up UV-protection glass windows, but in my case, its just blocked by blinds and thick curtain. Plus I have air conditioning so its like there's no windows at all.

Are you really trying to protect yourself that much for sunlight, especially morning light? If so, sheesh, what a miserable existence. I don't think morning sunlight is so bad, isn't it the time when infrared rays are more present, the ones that might have protective and healing effects on skin?
If all you guys believe that there will be life extension therapies in your lifetime, there will certainly be very good therapies to repair a little sun damage. On the other hand, there may never be life extension therapies in our lifetime that allow us to stay fairly young, so it would be pretty sad to get old and never have been able to truly enjoy time in the sun. I just picture a bunch of young people that don't know how to get out and have adventurous fun, just living controlled by fear of a freckle.
I would love to meet some of you guys. I picture a cross between Christian Bale's character in American Psycho and Brad Pitt's character in Interview with a vampire.

That really didn't make sense. Did you post this because I'm on Zoloft? I haven't been on it for a while now. I am going to start up again though. If I ever have a response like the one above it would have more to do with me being bipolar than being on any medication. I don't get overly manic on SSRIs either, so they don't have much to do with my comments either. This is funny. I'm just passionate about living life to it's fullest. It doesn't appear that some of you cave dwellers are anywhere close to knowing how to do that. Am I trolling? Maybe...

Haven't been taking that either. And I still don't see the relevence. I admit though I was in a fiesty mood when I made that post. To each his own I guess. I do think not letting sun in a room all day is a bit extreme. I slept great for many years and always had my bedroom window open to sunlight. Plus, I loved waking up to the sun in my room, I was always in a better mood and more energized in the morning, and I do not think it was impairing my ability to get good sleep. Now, I'm talking about a bedroom with one window, not those huge windows that allow tons of light in. I've also always been able to take great naps in the sun, actually better in the sun than in the shade, so maybe I'm just different. Or maybe it was the Zoloft that allowed me to do this.

From Boston, at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science
Sun exposure leads to wrinkles in double time, new research shows.
Inflammation makes the difference between young, supple skin and aged skin, say researchers at P&G Beauty, a cosmetics company in Cincinnati. Company scientists, led by immunologist Michael Robinson, compared skin from a group of 18- to 20-year-old Florida women with skin from 60- to 67-year-old women who had spent a lifetime in the Florida sun.
Researchers collected skin from the women's buttocks and outer forearms.
Comparing buttock samples allowed the researchers to determine how skin ages where the sun doesn't shine. The researchers examined which genes are turned on and off in young skin and aged skin.
Older skin cells turned up production of enzymes called proteases that break down collagen and elastin, proteins that give skin its spring and structure, Robinson says. As collagen breaks down, skin collapses into wrinkles.
