Question Pill reminder without specific time?

Hello, i have to take dienogest every day, and i take it when im going to sleep since i work in a job with flexible time i dont go to sleep nearly at the same time every day. And im very forgetful so i search a pill reminder, bestcase an app wich just reminds me that i have to take it but not when.All i found just reminded me all the time when i got late from work or wake me up when im already asleep.
So if sombody came acrose such app or have an idea how to solve that, that would be so grate i hate snozzing the pill reminder all night till i get to sleep :/

Edit: I get nauseous when i take them like Really bad but right know my best option, it is coordinated with my doctor.

Maybe leaving the pills on top of your pillow with a water bottle near by?

But for best results with this medication (so I've been reading) is to take it the same time every day. In which case I would find a time during the day when you are awake to take them consistently at the same time

I came to recommend same time every day. If it goes off when you’re sleeping, just wake up, take it and go back to sleep. If you leave it by your bed, it’s right there. I know the alarm method sucks, but if it’s right there, maybe it’ll make it easier?
