“Does anyone else's puppy not nap for 2 hours before 8pm or is it just me? He does have day time naps but only usually 30 mins max. I cannot get him to settle for a long time.”source ↗

“Plus the more enforced naps he has in crate, the more unsettled I find he is in the crate at night.”source ↗

“He howls when i'm not in the room too so will only sleep in crate during day if i'm out or if i'm in the room with him.”source ↗

“during these crate naps he only sleeps for an hour at a time, unlike his naps outside the crate.”source ↗

“can’t seem to sleep longer for daytime naps, even when we can tell he’s still tired.”source ↗

“he finally gave up and began to lie down, but his eyes stayed open, like fully open, as he tossed and turned and his breathing stayed heavy for another 45/50 minutes.”source ↗

“I guess I’m just trying to see if there’s anything else I can do to get him to actually sleep during enforced naps.”source ↗

“we're having some trouble getting her to nap as much as we'd like during the day.”source ↗

“takes a long time to settle during the day and often wakes up after 45 mins to 1 hour when napping.”source ↗

“My 15-week-old puppy (Jack Russell/Lakeland cross) is really struggling with daytime naps.”source ↗

“He can have a morning where he barely sleeps at all, despite clearly being tired. Like today. It's 1pm and he slept maybe for a total of 1h 10min since 7am. And he is absolutely exhausted. I feel like he is in a loop of over tiredness and I don't know how to break it.”source ↗

“Tell that to Archie! I’ve tried dog music, dark rooms, you name it. But if the crate is uncovered and he can see me he won’t sleep well, every move I make he watches like a hawk!”source ↗

“at 6 am he’s awake and he fights sleep every moment from then until 7.”source ↗

“At the 20 minute mark(I’ve timed it)he becomes insane and begins running and jumping everywhere, it doesn’t matter how I structure the time either.”source ↗

“He’ll settle within 5 minutes most times but if I get up to leave the area he’s wide awake crying.”source ↗

“I should have said, we already have a dark blanket covering the crate. It has helped a fair bit, just not quite as much as we'd like.”source ↗

“something about that hour mark seems to be his limit and even if we leave him, he barks and starts to get wound up instead of settling again.”source ↗

“i had a terrier mix who would just stare at me instead of napping, like he forgot how to close his eyes”source ↗

“My LO is 8 1/2 months old and will only take 15-35min naps.”source ↗

“i'm a SAHM and getting some days less than 1 hour to myself to just chill for a minute, have a hot cup of coffee and get house work /food/ etc done is getting exhausting.”source ↗

“I do! It definitely allows me to get some stuff done but if he falls asleep in there I have to stay relatively still or he will wake up 😅 and transferring him to his bed from the carrier if he's asleep never works he just wakes up in a terrible mood”source ↗

“now he will only sleep 30 minutes. It’s like clockwork, exactly 30 minutes and he’s awake. I’ve tried to get him back to sleep in multiple ways multiple times, but it never works.”source ↗

“His naps have for a while been short, max 1 hour. He will rarely sleep more. Most of the time only 40 min.”source ↗

“Because its a very long wake time, but if he goes to sleep at 7pm, he wakes up super early.”source ↗

“as an infant, she never slept longer than 45 minutes and would only take one nap”source ↗

“i finally got sick of fighting it and she dropped all naps by 13 months.”source ↗

“My 11 month old has been fighting her second nap every day for weeks. I cannot get her to take it no matter what I try.”source ↗

“She gets overtired when she inevitably doesn’t nap a second time and I have to put her to bed early. I have no idea what to do. She’s miserable. I’m miserable.”source ↗
