A few times lately I have exercised in the evening -say7PM- and had painful DOMS-like symptoms in bed between about 11 PM and 4 in the morning but when I get up I'm not too bad. Everything I read suggests that is when I should be starting pain not finishing it. Perhaps I'm not putting the right amount of effort in for standard DOMS.

You will always get some soreness after a hard session of anything but the main reasons you will suffer are unfamiliar movements/routines or if you contract eccentrically a lot as this is when the tearing of fibres occurs is at it's greatest.
