I Fully agree.

I think it may pay off to search for people who suffer "Delayed sleep phase
syndrome" to do night shift. They'll be happy and you'll actually have
someone who is more awake and alert than the average person at that time of
day.

I think the IT world has a more than average incidence of people with this
particular syndrome, at least in my experience.

Of course in practice you would want to word your vacancy in such a way it
doesn't sound silly. But I think it could be worth it to put an emphasis on
it.
