Are you splitting your dose? Typically someone injecting in the evenings can experience this when their Lantus runs out before 24 hours. Splitting ensures you are always covered.

Have you tried lowering your food intake at dinner? That may help quite a bit.

Adding another insulin might be the best way.

I'd recommend you try some basal testing. This will isolate the Lantus so you can better determine what's happening when.
