Is it healthy to sleep during the day and be awake at night?

It may be but it is : Not in sync with our "natural clocks" that affect multiple things in our body like hormone releases that have evolved to reflect night and day so you may still not function at peak performance as a result in spite of a sound sleep pattern.

If you are a vampire: The question is why this is happening and why you cannot, or have not tried, to reverse this pattern. It may have something psychological behind it. It is obvious since you are asking the question, that you or someone close to you feels this is not normal. Start by discussing with primary care doctor, and then if necessary progress to clinical psychologist or psychiatrist.
