Dementia is a condition where multiple factors play a role in the presentation .
You have written she is not conscious which I interpret as disorientation. It is important to know whether it is a recent development . If she is in delirium reversal of sleep pattern is commonly seen.
In any case better to avoid morning sedative medicines.
It is important to consult a Psychiatrist for assessment and appropriate medications
