Sleeping hungry? Sounds impossible to me. Working with a grumbling stomach is for me totally logical: hunger is a motivation to go out and hunt and it can be channeled into other activities. But how could one sleep without feeling sated? I mean, wouldn’t that be the normal routine of an animal: be hungry, go hunt, feel sated, sleep?
Is it? Domesticated dogs derive from a nocturnal species, when born feral they are nocturnal, but have no problems being diurnal when raised so by humans. Humans can easily adapt to two shorter sleeps or even the weird polyphasic routine.
Not sure this is true. In the tropics (where there are a lot of feral dogs) the peaks of activity for most everyone is dawn and dusk, avoiding the midday heat. As far as I know nocturnal predators certainly exist but are rare.
Humans can easily adapt
Don’t know about that either. Humans can adapt. Some humans can easily adapt. A lot can’t.
Wasn’t the idea to not be sated until the end of the day and thus have a clearer head and be more productive? I’m not concerned about losing weight, which I have heard skipping dinner is pretty good for.
Same. I’m completely fine if I skip lunch though. I think I might try doing that regularly and see how it goes.
In my experience, skipping dinner works better.

No, because sleep is tied to the diurnal cycle and the success of a hunt (for carnivores) cannot be so conveniently arranged.

OTOH “food coma” is a thing.

Oh. We have different goals, then.
