When it's this dark at noontime, do the animals get confused?

Here we are at midday in the Bay Area, sci-fi-hellscape dark and getting darker:

Do crepuscular animals think it’s dusk? Do daylight animals go to sleep? In addition to whatever this horrible condition does to their respiration (which has to be worse than mine indoors), are their eating and sleeping cycles messed up?
