Valium (Diazepam) is considered to be a long acting benzodiazepine - and therefore more likely to leave you with a slight hangover the following morning if taken before bed.
It does have a sedating effect; however, I use it probably more during the day than at night before bedtime.
I wouldn't be overly concerned, I have used Valium over the past six years, and it has been an absolute lifesaver in the past. I sometimes wonder if I would have made it this far without it.
The only time it has faltered is one is when I took it regularly and found that it seemed to be losing some of it's effectiveness.
If it's worrying you, could you not take it while you are away from work i.e. on a day off / weekend? At least then you could see how it effects you while you were in familiar surroundings?
