For most people, insulin levels tend to be higher during the day than at night. Use this fact to explain why people grow hungry a few hours after a daytime meal but not so quickly at night.

Answer:

Hunger has nothing to do with insulin. It is a hormone that stores fat and is released in reaction to eating. Since your body metabolizes fat most effectively at night, your blood sugar is really at its lowest during that time. When insulin levels are high, your body will store fat rather than burn it.

You're talking about the hunger hormone ghrelin, which typically increases and decreases around mealtimes, as if your body has been conditioned. You should eat, according to your brain.
