Should A Colonoscopy Prep Drink Be Consumed Throughout The Night?

Hello, I haven't went through a proper fasting process. I have a colonoscopy @ 8Am CST and had my last meal around 10 PM cst. After waiting 2 hours, I just had my first cup of prep. Do you think I should continue to drink it throughout the night? I plan to fall asleep around 2 am.

Usually, it should be taken in the period the doctor has prescribed to you. Its not that it should be day or night but the time itself.
