Feeling way hungrier at night

Long time lurker, first time poster. Sorry if this has been asked before, I couldn't find it.

Does anyone else feel waaaaay hungrier at night than during the day? My sleep routine is usually 3 am to 11pm, and I'm lucky to have a job that can accomodate that. But, during lunch, usually between 12pm and 1pm I feel next to no hunger, I pick at my food and usually can't finish a single plate. Then, during the day, I eat a little, but when night comes I feel a huge hunger spike, and want to eat everything in the house throughout the entire night. Does anyone else feel the same? My theory is that it's related to a delayed methabolism, but I'd like to hear some other opinions.

This was something that tipped me off to this whole issue, that my digestion is way better when I stick with a late schedule. Like, why would that be if it's not a real thing?
