Here is my advice for sleeping through the night. Take away his water at like 10pm (if you go to bed at 11pm) wait about a half hour, then take him out to pee. Make sure he goes. Once you bring him in, put him in his crate for the night. Dogs generally do not pee in their crate (unless he truely does have a health problem). Put his crate next to your bed, put a softly ticking clock in there and an old sweater/sweatshirt of yours as bedding. Then lay a blanket over the crate. I bet you he sleeps like a baby all night long!
Unless hes got an underlying problem, he is definately old enough to sleep through the night now.
