I’m using diclofenac sodium gel 1% for hip pain. I’m always confused as whether
to wake up during the night with these kinds of instructions. Witt
Does 4 times a day mean every 6 hours or 4 times a day during waking hours?

Generally it means to use it when you get up, again at lunch time or early afternoon, again around dinner time and right before you go to bed. This is generally the rule for your topical medication.
