Missing your pill by just 3 to 4 hours isn't going to make a difference in your protection against pregnancy. In fact, if you miss a pill entirely on one day and take it the next day (in other words, take two that next day) you are still protected from pregnancy.
What time of day do you take your pill? Is there a better time of day? Could you, say, take it each morning after you brush your teeth? Or each night when you brush your teeth? If you attach it to another habit that you do about the same time every day, it's easier.
So don't worry. You are fine. But you might want to think about whether there's a better time of day for you to take your pill so that you won't stress so much or have a chance of forgetting it!
