Your skin grows paler, even as your eyes appear to sink into pools of dark. You will gradually develop an aversion to sunlight. Eventually, the people around you start looking like juicy slabs of meat. After that, it's just a small step to a daily (nightly?) diet of fresh blood for sustenance.
Seriously though, I worked from 2pm to 11pm five days a week for about four years. My sleeping patterns were seriously disrupted as a result. I tended to sleep at 3am and wake up at around 11am or noon. Other than that, I didn't notice any physical effects. I did get very grouchy though if I were to wake at noon, because that would have left only about enough time to wash up and rush to work. That would be extremely depressing, because it would feel as though I had no life outside of the office.
