I have noticed that I switch night and day cycles during summer because it's too hot to function in the day.

The earth is getting hotter each year due to capitalism. With how capitalism works, capitalists aren't going to slow down or give a second thought for nature. At a certain level AC won't be enough and workers will end up collapsing or dying... Which lowers production, so I think that maybe in like 5 or 10 years (if not now already) we'll see some push for night shifts because it's colder in the night, burning the earth without affecting productivity. Will also limit chilling to lit up private properties that require payment or full of consumables like a Walmart because it's safer than idk sitting in a public park at 3 am. This will probably get spun around as a revolutionary good thing or something.

I've already been thinking about how humans are naturally going to adapt to be nocturnal due to the extreme day temperatures. I think it's inevitable if we can't get climate change under control. It might take a while, maybe a few generations, but imo it's coming. There would also be a big push to take vitamin supplements like they do in places near the poles that don't get sunlight certain times of the year. Those that can't afford them would just be depressed and even more miserable.

Welcome to hell! It sucks here.

There are artificial replacements like UV lamps

That may work, but wasn't UV dangerous?

UV is why sunlight is necessary in the first place.
