How can I get my 1 month old to feed for longer in the night?

My one month old will feed for 20 mins in the day (breastfed) but in the night after their longest sleep they will only feed for 5 mins before falling asleep on the boob. I've tried nappy changes and swapping boobs but they won't rouse. Then less than an hour later they want feeding again, repeat this from midnight until I give up on the morning.

I have a shallow latch which I've tried all sorts to correct and I wondered if this might be the issue?
Anyone have any experience or words of wisdom?
I'd like to aim for them to feed a little longer so they last more than an hour between feeds.
