This may sound soooo silly but I thought I would ask.. any tips or advice on how to get my little man to sleep past 5 am each morning? Today he got up at 4:50

Thanks for any help!!

Oh wow...you are living my life.

Usually when Copper gets me up that early, he wants to go out. I take him out (often on a leash) just so we aren't staying out to explore. He will usually go back to sleep. This morning he woke me up early and then about a half hour later when I finally got back to sleep, he came up on the bed and whined at me. I was not a happy camper.

I have his excercise pen set up downstairs complete with potty pads and bed. I may give him a chance to get me up for a potty run tomorrow morning, but then I'm going to put him in his pen so I can go back to sleep and not be disturbed for an hour.

Good luck. This is the only solution I can think of right now.

My hubby suggested I put him to bed in the pen after his last potty run. That is ok, but I kind of like it when he snuggles with me in the middle of the night. He sleeps in an open crate (with a soft bed inside) beside my bed.

my husband takes him out when he barks at 5 am and he feeds him as the breeder ( mu hubby's uncle) told us that is when he fed him when he first had him, we put him back in his bed in our room in the bathroom with a gate across the door which is next to our bed but he continues to bark and won't go back to sleep

If I put him in his pen in the kitchen he will wake my 3 and a half year old up

I can't win! This morning he did go to sleep in his pen after my husband put him in but my daughter then got up! LOL! I didn't know if feeding him later would make him sleep longer or exercising later.
