It depends on how this effects your sleep, but the answer is if it does, then yes.
The majority of your Testosterone is produced and released during your rem cycles. That's why it's so important to get a full night's restful sleep and make sure you have the hormone building blocks in your body that you need. This is also why you wake up with "morning wood" and why men tend to have a higher libido earlier in the mornings.
For a lot of men, night shift can throw off their sleeping schedule or cause them to not get full restful nights sleep since they're struggling with their bodies natural rhythm & extra light etc.
