Default Not using wheel?

Although I understand that hamsters are nocturnal, I usually go to bed around 11 o' clock. However, Titania is usually always sleeping or digging, never using her DIY 8 inch wheel. I added wooden dowels onto it to encourage her to run on it in case she didn't have enough grip, but still she never uses it. And the wheel will turn, continuing to swing a second after I spin it (but not much longer). I know some hamsters don't like using wheels, but Titania doesn't seem to be like that. When she first arrived she attempted to run on the wheel, but without the dowels yet added she was unable to.
Help?
(Titania also tends to sleep underneath the wheel, could this be it?)
