    Ya it wouldnt be too significant within the day. Hormones are always being regulated so yes they go up and down with certain rhythms of the body and also do to stress etc.

    So the biggest problem will be if you are really lacking sleep.

    Imagine grehlin and leptin are out of wack. Picture them to be you fuel (gas) gauge in your car. Because they are so to speak the same in your body.

    If the gauge is working properly and you put fuel in it you will then burn it off at a reasonable rate, and when you step on the gas big time it goes and the rate of fuel consumption increases.

    Now, if your gas gauge is broken and you dont know how much gas is in the tank and you want to go on a 4 hour drive (burn off a ton of fuel) are you gonna do it? No, instead you are going to conserve the gas...much as your body will do when leptin is decreased too much and your gauge is broken.

    So dont worry about it from meal to meal and hour to hour, cuz those are just short trips right. Start to worry if you are going through periods of fasting, very low calories and bad sleep patterns
