Default Unusual Breakfast for tea/Tea for Breakfast eating patterns

Hey all

I am currently on a stay awake all night and sleep during the day pattern but find that I feel like eating my dinner/tea at night when I first get up and then eating my breakfast in the morning before I go to sleep.

I was just wondering if anyone could answer these questions or their thoughts:

Is this from conditioning all of my life (eating tea/dinner at night)?

Does the temperature seems to change my mood (don't feel like eating breakfast when it is still hot outside at night)?

Is this good for me as breakfast is supposed to be the most important meal of the day but instead I am usually eating a more substantial meal?

Thanks

Andy

There is a strong possibility. If you look at the fundamental differences of the two meals, they serve very different functions. Breakfast serves as kind of the major energy boost of the day - you haven't eaten most likely in 10 hours and so you eat quite high-energy foods - bananas, cereal, milk, fruit, with a high-glucose content. Dinner and tea on the other hand are more like small breaks from work. Normally you have one big one and one small one. So you might have a big dinner and a mini-tea, or vice versa.

This conditioning however functions under the expectation that you are awake during the day and asleep during the night. So I expect it would probably require some effort to break out of this routine and reverse it. Really the only thing you've changed is when you go to sleep and when you awaken. The body should have no problems making a shift.

By the way, can I ask why you're doing such a thing?
