I didn't see anybody mention that at 5th lvl your Hex will last 8 hrs and at 9th lvl 24. Wake up an hour early, cast Hex, and take a short rest. This frees up your casting as long as you stay away from other concentration spells.
What target do you choose for that Hex? You need a target for it and then when that target drops to 0 HP you can choose another one? I just cant see how you can toss that spell at a random straw of grass or something.....
Bag of rats or a squirrel.
As a GM I would say sleeping counts as loosing consciousness which would end any concentration spell the same a falling unconscious from hitting 0 hit points. In fact, as per the alert feet preventing you from being surprised would also not cover you while asleep for the same reason as listed in the feat. ... So I don't see carrying the spell into the next day unless your only taking short rests and willing to take a level of exhaustion for it.
Or choose the right invocation so you dont need to sleep :D
Which would be possible for a Pact of the Tome but not a Pact of the Blade as the Original Poster is using.

The lack of inflection in text means that a reader of any post adds their own inflection as they "verbalize" it in their head. I write long and repetitive in an effort to be clear and avoid my intent from being skewed or inverted. I am also bad at examples. It is common for people to skim my posts pull out the idea they think I mean or want to argue against or focus on my bad example instead of the point I am actually trying to make. I apologies for the confusion my failure to be clear and concise creates.

You don't sleep during a short rest. But you can only take 2 short rests before a long rest So your wasting a short rest just to reset you spell slot when you may need it to spend hit dice.
For your third invocation, why not Tomb of Levistus? You’re kind of tanky with your shield. You are level 5, so you may have to soak a big damage spell soon (if not already). It could save your bacon, especially if you’re already wounded when a fireball hits.
I personally am going to make a Hexblade Bladelock Warlock to be Lay Glandzulii from The Misfit from Demon King Academy. In my build, I would just focus on melee capability invocations and melee boosting spells. I am going to homebrew a cooler version of the Green Flame Blade where it would be called Icy-Hot Blade where it deals Fire & Cold damage; same with Booming Blade, but as Storm's Blade where it deals Lightning and Thunder damage. He wouldn't use any ranged cantrips or spells. Only melee.
If you’re not carrying a shield and you want to use not physical weapons (also not carrying a shield) Don’t takeThirsting Blade instead you can use booming blade or green flame blade for your main hand attack action with your pact weapon, take Shadow Blade 2nd level concentration spell (so no hex) and use it as an offhand weapon for a second attack and it likely going to give you more damage than hex's 2d6 and you can scale it with your pact slots so it is less wasteful. Take the Warcaster feat for opportunity attacks with booming blade (since they are moving...). Just a good scaling damage build with one feat.
Booming Blade/Green Flame Blade is casting a spell, not making an attack, so I'm pretty sure you can't do the bonus off-hand attack with the Shadow Blade.

The OrlanduTheLightningGod is my other account in which I have 2 emails. So this is what I have made.

Here are my homebrew cantrips that will especially be useful to the Eldritch Knight and Hexblade.
