Im trying to get my hampter to be not noctural?

okay so i took the advise to keep it in a dark room in the day time hours and i light room at night. but this is obviously not helping because i went to check up on him and he was sleeping anyways. im scared to wake him up because i feel bad and i think he might bite me i want to play with him so he wont go to bed but he's already asleep. and i also want to know if i make him a non nocturnal animal when its his nature if it can be bad for his health.. .oh and can they have rabies because he sorta bit me hard.
