Default Question on free feeding after scheduled ones

My 3 are all on scheduled feedings and due to my pom being sick with Cushing's ever since I had Pixie and Roxie they all got use to being fed 3-4 times a day including one during the middle of the night and one at 5 am. Since Maya's passing I had hoped that I could get them on to a schedule where they would eat around 7 am then 4pm and then a tiny meal at night. Pixie has been driving me crazy at night with wanting to still eat at 1 or 1:30 am and then gets me up at 5am again. I try and ignore her but she just keeps bugging me and barking. They get fed at 10pm and she still wants to eat again 3 hours later and then again at 5. They are eating California Natural canned and I know they are eating enough as they are all a bit chubby. So I have 2 questions, will they feel full longer if I feed them the CN kibble? I bought some and they love it. And 2, is it possible to get them to free feed without them pigging out and eating the who;e bowl of kibble. I would love to just be able to leave out bowls of kibble and not have to worry about getting up and feeding them. I appreciate any input. I know they are spoiled!!!!!
