See below: Your doc can help adjust the timing of your medication and/or select a different medication - there are many choices out there. Behavioral methods are among the best options for the long-term.

MAYBE?: Perhaps but maybe just ask for a different sleep aid that is longer acting like Restoril (temazepam) for instance. Explain to your physician.
