GERD medications or supplements with a long half-life

I'm taking pantoprazole and ranitidine and it seems to work for 6 hours max. If I wake up before 6 hours there's no reflux, but if I wake up after 6 hours there's reflux -- which is basically every night as I'm a long sleeper (I need at least 8 hours or i cannot function).

Is there someway to increase the half-life of these medications, or is there anything that will give me 8 hours of no reflux?

My GERD is only a problem at night. I wake up with sore throats seemingly every day

You'd probably find some relief using a timed release PPI, such as Prevacid 24HR or Dexilant. When I switched to a timed release medication it gave me fewer side effects and was longer lasting.
