No, no requirement to reveal anything like that. I've known dispatchers with multiple illnesses (cancer, kidney issues, paralysis) which prevent them from operating aircraft but work in ops control.
The shifts mentioned above make me glad I work straight up Mids Monday - Thursday.
It's not too difficult to establish a week day sleep pattern since the shift times do not
