When I brought my 8-week old pup home - my vet said to give him cottage cheese every night right before we went to bed. He said it has a lot of protein and would "stick with him" better during the night - and both of us would get more sleep.
I guess it worked because my little guy easily slept 5 to 6 hours from the first night on. I just got up with him quickly when he first woke up to get him to his potty pad. (He also didn't pee during the night while he slept - soundly).
