My pup slept about 80-90% of the time when he was 8 weeks old. He still sleeps a lot and so does my 4-year-old other dog. The average house dog doesn't have much to do and sleeps even more than most dogs do. I think I read that the average adult dog sleeps 14 to 16 hours a day. (What a life!!)
Your dog sounds like mine. They hate dog food - and don't think we haven't tried a million different kinds. Their favorite food is chicken or any other meat. And, basically, unfortunately, they like most people food period!!!
And - they like a variety of different foods.
My dogs get wet dog food (not a lot) in the morning and have dry dog food available 24/7 (which they don't eat much of). They are good about eating their dog food in the morning because they are hungry and that is all that is available for them to eat.
Evenings, they tend to get more people food, leftovers, etc.
So - that's how we do it.
