Why would you have a meal between breakfast and lunch? That's what I don't understand. You're either eating breakfast too late or lunch too early.
I eat a "lunch" sammidge with a pot of tea about an hour after getting up, and have a supper about 8hrs later, then snack randomly til bedtime.
That would mean eating a sandwich at 7 AM and eating a large meal at 3 PM and then nothing but snacks for another 9 hours? I can't imagine doing that. The Jedi Master You clearly aren't getting enough sleep. ...but snacking just means no schedule and no major preparation effort, it doesn't mean negligible quantity.

I have to wake up at 6AM but I can't usually ever fall asleep before midnight. I'm just a night person.

I'm very much a night person, and always have been, which is part of why I intended to get a career in astronomy, before I was deflected. Well, it often seems to be more that I want to live in a world with a 26 hour day, but anyway, it is a fight to be asleep before three, which means peeling myself out of bed on work days by dint of massive effort somewhere approaching noon (like a dislodged object I wash up against noon as the latest moment I can get away with, in most of my places of employment). Had I the willpower and ambition, I suppose I could make twice as much money just by playing along with the whole morning thing, but I have never been able to manage it. My day happily precesses by one cycle every two weeks when I am on vacation. I can't wait for retirement when I can decouple from obligations and freewheel at my natural deranged circadian rhythm.

Breakfast, Dinner, Tea for me growing up, where I am now lunch/dinner is most common for midday & evening meal, local variations seem to be just that.
A sandwich would be a piece.

What do you say? Where I come from in't Yorkshire we say breakfast, dinner and tea (nothing to do with the drink, food at tea-time) and tha better not argue wi me, rate?! Rate. So what do you say? Bearing in mind it's wrong though hailing from Leeds it can only be Breakfast, Dinner and Tea however it is Dessert, although my daughter thinks its Pudding My Irish ex-mother-in-law always offered a 'Jammy Piece' at bedtime which was always welcome and on Sunday morning always offered 'some of my hot buttered fadge' which was not welcome, and made my cry like a baby everytime she asked

Southern boy. Big breakfast, sandwich for lunch, and supper was generally a slice or two of Czech kielbasa and some sharp cheese. Maybe some bread. Cram a cigarette (before I married) and coffee in there during the day as well.

You know what I don't understand? Cold cereal for breakfast. Cereal is supposed to be hot.
Oatmeal or Cream of Wheat, y'all? Grits are dreadful.

Being a born and bred Londoner I can tell you quite categorically it is breakfast, lunch and dinner.
I spent three years living in Tyneside and had this same discussion many times. Bottom line is tea is a drink, not a meal. pray tell me what the tabbard wearing, lovely, wobbly, randy, old ladies stood in your playground at junior school were called
