8 weeks old baby nursing for two hours

My baby is around 8 weeks old, during the day when I breastfeed him, he will nurse for thirty min then start to fall asleep and I will pull him off the nipple and he will be alright for two hours without showing signs of hunger(rooting, smacking of lips etc). However, when it reaches around 6pm or so, he will latch for one to two hours but still appear hungry after that and cries. Anybody experiencing this? It's so tiring to latch him so often

It's very common for babies to get super cranky when night time comes and he will want to latch for comfort. Try side latching if you can to make yourself more comfortable, I can side latch and just use my phone for 2 hours easily haha. Hang in there it should get better around 3-4 months!
