Feeling hungry

2019-12-22 21:18:27
I work in night shift from 5pm to 2am and usually have two meals a day - lunch at 2pm and dinner at 8pm. However, I feel very hungry after coming from work around 3am. Even if I try to include a snack in between, I still feel hungry. Is this normal? Please advise.

Yes. Because 5 hours have passed after last meal. Small meal may be taken 1 to 2  hour before sleeping.
