Since the puppy is young, you need to check a few things first before you consider all is well.
1. Are you making sure that the puppy is eating and drinking water? Sometimes they will get to playing so much that they forget to do these things.
2. Are you checking the puppies gums for low blood sugar? You need to make sure that you give this puppy some nutri-cal every day for a while until it becomes adjusted to your home.
3. Have you had it checked by the vet since you brought it home?
4. When in doubt, due to the size of an 8 week puppy, take it to the vet immediately. Most vets don't charge for re-checks. Develop a relationship with your vet and if you do have questions, most of the time you can call them and they can advise you over the phone.
Puppies nervous systems develop rapidly while they are sleeping. This is why you will see them moving and such in their sleep.
Good luck with your new puppy.
