As they say of NYC, "if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere".
People living in large urban centers are essentially 100% disconnected from any sort of natural day/night light cycles, but they still manage (with, admittedly, some negative health effects). Same deal with gravity; the human body can support people who way 2x the average for their demographic, so I don't think 10% different gravity will matter much.
In the worst case, we could probably do genetic modification or just use exogenous hormones to help adapt to weird sleep cycles.
