This question mainly for the millions who are awake and active during the night rather than the others who are active during the day and sleep at night.

Hi,
there IS something that separates dinner from breakfast...supper!
Of course, most people don't need a special name to call their snacks. (just makes it sound more 'official'...but adds the same amount of extra poundage)
Cheers and good eating...

Brunch doesn't divide lunch from breakfast. Brunch is a combination of lunch and breakfast. Now with that understood lunch would then be the divider from breakfast to dinner. I hope this make sense and answers your question.

Generally I would guess that the majority of the population tend sleep during twilight hours except for shift workers and insomniacs etc.Therefor most would have never given the idea a thought.
The word breakfast means Break Fast, to break your fast after waking. Maybe the term "Midnight Snack" could be taken into consideration.

BRUNCH & BREAKFAST ARE THE SAME. They are just 2 different words that have the same meaning, eaten at different times. Breakfast is eaten early in the morning, brunch is eaten mid-morning. And people have what they call "snacks" in between lunch & dinner.

Brunch does not separate breakfast and lunch, it IS breakfast and lunch together. Usually for late riserswho may decide to skip breakfast and instead combine both around 11 am.
Morning tea (or smoko) separates breakfast from lunch as afternoon tea (or smoko) separates lunch from dinner (or tea or supper whatever you call it where you are).

My family calls the meal between lunch and dinner (supper) - lupper. The British call it tea.

That's just one of the MANY reasons I hate the made-up meal called "brunch". In fact, "brunch" is probably one of my least favorite words in the English language.

When I was stationed at RCNB Comox in British Columbia they served a snack meal at 0200 in the morning that they called Kii. In our service the chowhall opened at that time and just served a meal...no special name for it though.
