My son is 10 so I don’t know if that makes a difference.  I set an extra alarm for 3 AM.  I get up (a couple of times I must have just fallen back asleep), pad across the hall and whisper a few times to him and he opens his mouth, I drop it in, go to the bathroom and go back to sleep.  Some people have said that the pill should be taken with water but that’s what we do.  Water would be much more of a big deal and he would wake up.  He doesn’t remember waking up so I think he isn’t losing much sleep.  It’s not too bad for me either.
