hi, all 3 of mine are crate trained for nite time only, all i have to say is nite nite and off they go, but like you said i did the same thing in the begining, i would get up every 15 min to see what was wrong, and they really do play into that, so finally i moved all 3 crates in my room(hubby not happy) but hey it worked, within 1 week i was able to move them back to the den, i think its a security thing.now they are 11/2 and 2 and no problem.good luck and i sure hope you get some rest
