I have mine in the master bathroom with the doorway gated off. They have a few beds, their potty pads, toys and water bowl. They can see me when I am in the bed.

I bought my pups a Best Pen Folding Play Pen from Amazon. It has mesh sides and top and a canvas type bottom. It did not work for containment for my two (I got it for in the kitchen), but may be an option for temp sleeping solution. It is big enough for a small bed, a potty pad (which is not an option for you right now - but the floor is water resistant) and water dish and a few toys. Might give him a little room to move around and entertain himself a little bit.
So theres hope lol...having a small dog is just so much different then a larger dog. Our larger dog we had a six weeks and we were never up that much at night, but at 6 weeks she was bigger then gizmo is even now so i knew potty training at night would be alittle tougher but man didnt know id lose this much sleep. Im looking into getting a xpen here soon but havent found one that i like much yet and the ones i do are super expensive for what i want to pay. I just didnt get why he was good with sleeping for 5-6 hrs at a time then now this week he doesnt want to, but hopefully itll go back to that and in the mean time i thought id see what other tricks people had. so thank you
