Sleep Deprived - Please Help!

[JBJsRockAngel]

Lulu used to wake up at 6:30 when she slept in the crate, probably because the sun woke her and she knew it was time to get up. Now that she sleeps in the bed with us, she sleeps as long as we sleep. I would try bringing her into bed with you for those last couple of hours.... hope that helps.

i do

Kacee sleeps later now, but she does the same thing to me to get me up if I don't get up before she does.

Snickers sleeps still in a crate, I put a towel over it.. cause mine is an open one.. so not a platic one.
He sleeps next to my bed.. and he wakes up when I wake up ..
When he wants to get really early i only say once NO and he sleeps again.
I think maybe because she is in the other room maybe and feel maybe that her mommy is not near.. i dont know otherwise. Cause 5 or 6 am is soooo early lol
I can imagine how you feel... cause if you have sleep less then its not good.

Let me know what your plans are.
Love Priscilla and mr snickers.
good luck.

She sleeps in the bedroom right next to mine, but the trainer says she should sleep in the same room close to me so it’s den-like. I am loosing sleep over this!!! What can I do to make her sleep longer in the morning – ignore her? And, do you think it’s okay for her to sleep farther away from me so I can’t hear her waking up early? To clarify, she wakes up early whether she's in the room with me or not. Thanks.

Same here Snickers knows when i get up he gets out and he can pee right away..
But he really never wine or make sounds and if he do i say NO and he goes back to sleep LOL
HAAHAH Seems baily and snickers looks same.

Oh yeah BTW I went to the groomer with him,.. he looks really cute.. i needed to get used to it, cause he cant have a bow in and he is really short.. but he love it !

Baby comes first.

I agree! Bear wakes me up every morning around three am because it's time to play play play!!! I have to take him out & sleep on the couch with a leash attached to his harness & only then will he stop whining & barking. Having a puppy is in some ways like having a newborn baby. You're just going to have to face the fact that you're going to lose sleep for awhile. He will outgrow this eventually, but for now, when he's up, you need to get up too

Thanks for all of your advice and suggestions. I never thought that she might be waking up when the sun comes up!

When Conner was a puppy, he would wake up between 4 and 5 a.m. and want to play. I would get up with him while my husband slept. This lasted until he was about 6 months old. Now that he is 2, he does not want to get up early in the morning. He loves to sleep in on weekends.
