How would life be different if there were no night time?

Some places sometimes there is no night time. It's weird- many people don't sleep much.

I have a theory that there would be less crime.

Theoretically speaking, would there be an increase of people afraid of the dark? With night time gone, we would get constant direct light from the Sun. Darkness would most likely be abnormal for the average person. Maybe not outright afraid, but increase in being uncomfortable in dark places perhaps.

This is an interesting one--but it makes me wonder about sleep. Granted, I didn't define the initial question very well, but if there's no night time, would people no longer need to sleep? or would they find darkness (in caves, etc) in order to sleep? If the latter, then I imagine people would have to be comfortable with the darkness to thrive.

If we're assuming that since the beginning of Earth's existence, the entirety of Earth's surface lacked a day/night cycle and was always daytime 24/7. Life would most likely evolve to account for having no nighttime. We need sleep, so we'd have to manage someone. If anything blindfold sales would shoot up.

Door to door night light salespersons would totally be out of work.
