I started thinking more about this and I'm not sure of the answer. Logically, I would think there would be more rays that might cause genetic damage during the day but I also could be wrong.
If daylight is more genetically damaging than night time then people might spend more night time awake and more daytime asleep. However, some people (especially young people) between 18 and 30 might already do this if they are city folk.
I find my youngest daughter likes to keep the windows closed during the day a lot and shutters drawn whereas I am the opposite because My father was a sun worshipper who moved down from Seattle partly just so he could get a tan and run around in shorts at the beach and in the deserts. So, from being about 4 years old running around Borego Desert in the springtime onwards I was always pretty tan too wherever I was. But, my daughter grew up where it is foggy a lot during the summer (which I don't like) but which also makes where I live very green year around (near San Francisco) so I have had to adapt to foggy (high and low) during May through July or August. However, this year I'm getting smart and every few days I drive inland to see the sun.
However, you also never have temperatures above 85 or 90 during the summers either so no one where I live has an air conditioner because you just don't need them. However, even during the summer it is common to turn your heater on at night because it might be 45 to 55 out. But, if it's overcast it stays warm inside without turning the heater on because of the cloud cover.
