I have 2 yorkies who are 9 months old & they sleep through the night (most of the time). It took a while to get them to that point. They are bigger yorkies at 9.5 & 11.5 pounds. I used to take their water dishes away around 8:00 at night & that helped (bedtime is around 10pm & they usually wake up around 6:30AM or so). I do not use pee pads because all they did was tear them up. They go potty outside. Now I keep the water dishes down all the time & I keep water down in their play room where they sleep. We moved them into the basement because they would wake up at any random noises (house pops/cracks at night, one of us getting up to go to the bathroom or get a drink of water, rain, etc), so we moved them into the basement & it worked for us. I got very stressed for a while when they didn't sleep through the night so I know how you feel if your sleep is getting disrupted!
