I need some advice/encouragement/a good night's sleep

Here's the deal

Don't ask me why, but I give the baby her dinner at between 5:00-6:00 p.m. everyday.

(No I can't do it earlier)

Anyway....a NORMAL yorkie would need to have a potty sometime after eating...right?

Not Maya, the rest of her evening rolls on as usual, then it is bedtime, and like MAGIC, she has to use it at 2:23 AM (almost on the dot).

Now this means either you get up in the middle of the night and go out with her (then she won't go back to sleep and barks anyway), or she uses it in the crate and you have a mess to clean up at 3: something in the morning.

She does not shy away from pottying in the crate and being trapped in there with it. The crate does not make her HOLD it until I get up at 4:00 AM.

Any suggestions? I have to work everyday, and her little body functions, and 5 months of this have me worn out,
