Well, I am in a cubicle & in a bed at those times (depressing that it's 16 hours a day now that I think about it!), and I think it's fairly normal if you are crate training to have them on that schedule - isn't it? They are potty trained now, and my husband & I are going to be working on the puppy "play room" soon in our basement - which I am SO excited for. We get them out exercising quite a bit, and I had a lot of questions when I got them about the confinement with the crate. My vet assured me that my schedule was great for them...so I am hoping that I'm doing the right thing. I would have them out more if I could, but I have to work.
