If this is a sudden problem, I would have her checked out at the vet.
My cat is an absolute lunatic who will do anything to wake me up at night if he's hungry. That includes climbing to the highest possible spot in my bedroom, diving off, and landing with a hard smack on my stomach. That is most emphatically not an enjoyable way to wake up, take my word for it.
Now I keep a small amount of dry food out at night for my cat, which stops the brutal wake-up routines.
But I take the bowl of dry food away in the morning and feed him wet food for his meals. I had a problem similar to what you're experiencing -- if my kitteh is snacking on small amounts of dry food all day, he's not going to eat his wet food, so the dry bowl had to go.
I think that would work for you too. Cats are creatures of habit, and it shouldn't take long to settle your cat into a new routine. FWIW I agree with others here who note that wet food is much healthier and should be the majority of a cat's diet.
