| Are yorkies Night owls? Hi, my name is Susan, I'm very new to this site. Hope to meet some of you ladies and gents soon! I don't have a baby yorkie yet, just trying to get as informed as i can. So here is my question.... My friends little girl is a complete night owl. Loves to sleep all day and is up until really, really late. Is this a common things with yorkies? |

| Hi, and welcome to YT! My little guy plays hard all day and conks out around 9pm if we are at home and on a regular schedule. He'll fall asleep on the couch, and I'll take him to potty and then to bed with me around midnight or so. He generally wakes me up around 7:30 am to go potty and eat, then sleeps for another hour or so. If we have visitors or are doing something, he will stay awake as long as I am because he doesn't want to miss any of the action! And then he usually sleeps in later the next day. But as a general rule, my little guy is NOT a night owl. He exhausts himself pretty well during the day.

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | Welcome to YT! How old is she? My Scarlett is 13 weeks and and early bird -up at 4:30! Rhett is 6 months and sleeps through the night without a problem. So to me it seems to be an individual preference.

| hi, wow thanks for responding and for the welcome. She's about a year and a half but she not as active as some of your little ones seem to be. She loves to be on her moms lap or in her arms all day. I guess she saves all her energy for night time. |

| Mine takes naps during the day but she dosent like to stay up really late. If it gets after 1am she starts getting grumpy and wants to go to bed and she will sit next to me and cry or go hit the bedroom door and sit at it and cry.

| Welcome to YT!!! Mine is a total couch potato. He is active if I throw the ball, or take him out for a long walk, but if I'm busy during the day, he is right next to me sleeping or relaxing. Like right now, he's just snoozing away. At night he is asleep by 9. I can't get him to do anything after 9 pm. Once in a blue moon he'll get the midnight zoomies, but for the most part, he's asleep from 9 pm to 4:30-5 am. He'll play, eat, and play some more, then relax and lay around all day. I think each yorkie is different, it just depends on their personality.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | One of mine, PIxie sleeps all day and keeps waking me up all night until I feed them at 3am then she sleeps until 9am. I am so sleep deprived. Nothing seems to work to break her of this habit. My other 3 would stay asleep if she didn't wake them up.

| My 3 are ready for bed around 8-9 and sleep till around 4-5. ( that is when I get up for work ) My male will lay back down, but my 2 females are ready to start their day. They have patterned their sleep schedules around mine, thank goodness! |

| The M&Ms are sleepy-heads all around, even our 6 month old Mylo. Mikki (2y.o.), Minnie (3 y.o.) and Mylo are playing a lot during the day and when it gets around p PM Mikki insists to go nite-nite. When my dh come home from work at about midnight they are the welcome committee and go out for a last potty round. Then they come back to bed and sleep until 7.30 or 8 AM. I get up and let them out and start my day but they go back to bed with daddy and sleep until 9.30 AM... no night owls here... |

| Mine is definitely not a night owl. He wakes up with me at around 8 am, sits on my feet for an hour or so while I drink my coffee. After that he's wide awake and following me around all day. By the time I"m ready to relax after cleaning up dinner dishes he's ready to curl up on my feet and watch tv. By 9:00 he is passed out on my foot waiting for me to carry him in to bed. |

| I thought mine was the only ones to do this. If I'm not going upstairs to bed by 9-10, they will sit on the stairs and stare at me. When I get up to get ready for work (very early), they will stay in bed. Sometimes they will come down to see me off but then they go right back to bed. No night owls here.
