I'm through with you misrepresenting the quotes.
The tincture is given to her every hour, not once every few hours. At worst, it would take 2-4 hours for it to wear out.
At night, Egwene is sleeping, yes. But since Egwene has long since mastered to art of waking up in the middle of the night, and this is something most humans do, Silviana was obviously not going to design her captivity without taking this into account. Which brings up this quote:
If it is entirely obvious that two women are needed to shield Egwene, Katerine would not ask, and Silviana would not reply with "this child is tricky". She'd have wondered if Katerine had lost her senses to ask such an obvious question.
Lastly, of course, you still ignore the incident you quoted, where Egwene had been forkroot free for two days, yet Barasine alone held her. If Barasine knew there was no hope of her holding Egwene alone, she'd simply have followed the spindly Red sister, instead of waiting for Egwene to become safe by drinking forkroot. If you're going to continue to ignore this, don't bother with replying.
During the day, you will not be shielded at all. But every hour you will be given a mild tincture of forkroot.”

Katerine and Barasine were startled to say the least at hearing Elaida’s plans for Egwene, and not best pleased to learn that they would be watching her and shielding her while she slept, although Silviana told them she would arrange for other sisters to come after an hour or two.
“Why both of us?” Katerine wanted to know, which earned her a wry glance from Barasine. If only one were sent, it surely would not be Katerine, who stood higher.
“Firstly, because I said so.” Silviana waited until the other two Reds nodded in acceptance. They did so with obvious reluctance, but not enough to make her wait long. She had not put on her shawl to come into the hallway, and in some odd fashion, she seemed the one out of place.
“And secondly, because this child is tricky, I think. I want her watched carefully awake or asleep. Which of you has her ring?”
