In many ways, raising a puppy isn\u2019t so different from raising a baby. As with babies, a solid day-and-night routine is essential for your puppy. How much a puppy sleeps depends on their age: the younger the puppy, the more hours of sleep they need each day. But how much do puppies actually sleep? A newborn puppy spends about 90% of the day sleeping \u2013 that\u2019s around 22 hours a day. As your pup grows older, he\u2019ll sleep less, but even at 3 months, your little snoozer will still sleep and doze between 15 and 20 hours a day.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jg-sis-desktop-double-image\">\n<div class=\"jg-sis-left-image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3867\" src=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Desktop-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"392\" height=\"501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Desktop-2.jpg 392w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Desktop-2-354x453.jpg 354w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Desktop-2-295x377.jpg 295w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Desktop-2-300x383.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Desktop-2-72x92.jpg 72w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Desktop-2-235x300.jpg 235w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 392px) 100vw, 392px\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"jg-sis-right-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3868\" src=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Desktop-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"392\" height=\"501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Desktop-3.jpg 392w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Desktop-3-354x453.jpg 354w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Desktop-3-295x377.jpg 295w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Desktop-3-300x383.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Desktop-3-72x92.jpg 72w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Desktop-3-235x300.jpg 235w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 392px) 100vw, 392px\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jg-sis-mobile-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3873\" src=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Mobile-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"345\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Mobile-1.jpg 345w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Mobile-1-73x92.jpg 73w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Mobile-1-300x377.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Mobile-1-238x300.jpg 238w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 345px) 100vw, 345px\" \/><\/div>\n<h2>Why do puppies sleep so much?<\/h2>\n<p>It might surprise you, but while your little rascal is sleeping, his body is working hard. The development of his brain and central nervous system depends on all those naps. On top of that, sleep helps strengthen his muscles and bones. This is what your little four\u2011legged friend needs to grow into an active, healthy dog. Sleep also keeps the immune system in balance. If your pup doesn\u2019t get enough sleep, he can become grumpy and destructive, and he\u2019s at greater risk of infections and illness.<\/p>\n<h2>What to expect from your puppy\u2019s first night<\/h2>\n<p>Your puppy\u2019s first night will probably go in one of these two ways:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Your little rascal is totally exhausted from all the excitement of the day and falls fast asleep, or;<\/li>\n<li>Your little four\u2011legged friend struggles to adjust to the new situation. Moving to a new home with strangers is stressful, even if the first meeting went smoothly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>However that first night goes, these 10 tips will help you build a good routine so your puppy can sleep through the night. The first few days may really test your patience, but in the long run you\u2019ll definitely reap the benefits. As the saying goes: persistence pays off!<\/p>\n<h2>10 tips to help your puppy sleep through the night<\/h2>\n<h3>1. A familiar scent<\/h3>\n<p>The first night with his new family can be super exciting for your little rascal. Ask the breeder, foster family, or shelter your puppy came from for a toy, towel, or a small piece of a blanket. These items smell like his mother, siblings, or previous home. By placing them next to your pup at bedtime, you give him a familiar scent nearby. That smell helps him relax, settle, and drift off to sleep.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Create a sleep routine<\/h3>\n<p>A puppy doesn\u2019t always know when it\u2019s time to sleep. And with so much to discover, curiosity often takes over. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to build in enough rest moments throughout the day. Make sure your puppy can sleep undisturbed in his crate or bed, without lots of distractions and stimulation around him.<\/p>\n<h3>3. His Own Little Spot<\/h3>\n<p>Ambient noises make it difficult for your puppy to fall asleep. This is also one of the main reasons why your puppy isn\u2019t getting the sleep he needs. The solution? Provide a cozy and safe place where he can relax and sleep. If your puppy is still small, it\u2019s a good idea to get him a comfortable puppy crate. That way, he\u2019ll have a safe spot where he can rest and sleep undisturbed. As he gets older, your little rascal can also sleep comfortably in a basket. As long as your four-legged friend can sleep safely and undisturbed.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jg-sis-desktop-single-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3869\" src=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Desktop-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"816\" height=\"501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Desktop-4.jpg 816w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Desktop-4-368x226.jpg 368w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Desktop-4-300x184.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Desktop-4-768x472.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Desktop-4-600x368.jpg 600w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Desktop-4-150x92.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 816px) 100vw, 816px\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"jg-sis-mobile-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3875\" src=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Mobile-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"345\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Mobile-3.jpg 345w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Mobile-3-73x92.jpg 73w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Mobile-3-300x377.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Mobile-3-238x300.jpg 238w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 345px) 100vw, 345px\" \/><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">These blankets are perfect for creating a cozy spot for your pup.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Adjust the routine to accommodate changes<\/h3>\n<p>Just like with babies, your puppy\u2019s sleep pattern involves a bit of trial and error. As soon as you think you\u2019ve found the perfect rhythm, a new experience can throw things off again. Keep in mind that your pup may need some extra downtime after a big new experience. That way he can process everything and fully relax.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Keep the puppy crate closed<\/h3>\n<p> During the first period, it is advisable to let your puppy sleep in a crate. This way, he has his own spot where he can rest and sleep safely and undisturbed. It is therefore good to start this immediately as soon as your little rascal comes to live with you. Close the door of the puppy crate as soon as it is bedtime. This makes it clear to your four-legged friend that it is time to go to sleep and prevents him from going on adventures. Additionally, the puppy crate also speeds up potty training. Your puppy will naturally avoid soiling his spot, and it prevents mess or damage throughout your entire house. Crate training is also a valuable life skill that your dog will likely need at some point in his life.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Burn off energy \u2013 time to play!<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.nl\/12-nieuwe-denkspelletjes-voor-honden-maak-je-hond-moe\/\">Interactive playtime together <\/a>is a fantastic way to help your puppy burn off energy. If you can\u2019t manage long walks during the day, try adding some \u201cbrain games\u201d for mental stimulation. Just 10 minutes of mental work is equal to about 45 minutes of active play. Many different brain games are perfect for giving your puppy a mental workout. Many of them are great for serving his meals, too. Think of a snuffle mat, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kongcompany.com\/nl\/\">KONG<\/a>, or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.waschbaer.nl\/shop\/intelligentie-speelgoed-voor-honden-30755?campaign=pp\/shopalike-nl&#038;utm_source=Shopalikeutm_medium=portale&#038;utm_campaign=produktportale&#038;utm_country=NL\">puzzle <\/a>feeder. Regular dog toys are of course also a perfect way to help your puppy wind down.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jg-sis-desktop-single-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3870\" src=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Desktop-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"816\" height=\"501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Desktop-5.jpg 816w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Desktop-5-368x226.jpg 368w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Desktop-5-300x184.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Desktop-5-768x472.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Desktop-5-600x368.jpg 600w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Desktop-5-150x92.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 816px) 100vw, 816px\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"jg-sis-mobile-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3876\" src=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Mobile-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"345\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Mobile-4.jpg 345w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Mobile-4-73x92.jpg 73w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Mobile-4-300x377.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Mobile-4-238x300.jpg 238w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 345px) 100vw, 345px\" \/><\/div>\n<h3>7. Hydration matters<\/h3>\n<p>If your puppy is thirsty before bed, let him have a small drink. Just try to avoid lots of water in the hour before bedtime. That gives you both enough time for one last toilet break before turning in for the night.<\/p>\n<h3>8. One last outing<\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes when puppies go outside, they get distracted by everything they see, smell, and hear. They quickly forget why they went out in the first place. Before bedtime, <a href=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.nl\/hoe-vaak-hond-uitlaten\/\">take your puppy outside for one last outing<\/a>. Give your little rascal time to do his business. Just like with us humans, an \u201cempty\u201d puppy will sleep much longer than one with a full bladder.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Laat je pup uit in stijl met onze wandelcollectie!<\/p>\n<h3>9. Chewing is calming<\/h3>\n<p>Chewing is a calming activity that most dogs love \u2013 and especially puppies who are teething. You can give your pup a biscuit or an edible chew before bedtime, or choose a bone or chew toy instead. Just avoid toys with squeakers; they tend to ramp your puppy\u2019s energy right back up, which is the opposite of what you want. Having a bone or chew toy in his crate also helps keep your little rascal quietly occupied if he wakes up while you\u2019re still asleep.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jg-sis-desktop-single-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3871\" src=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Desktop_image-shop-blog-related-products.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"816\" height=\"501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Desktop_image-shop-blog-related-products.jpg 816w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Desktop_image-shop-blog-related-products-368x226.jpg 368w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Desktop_image-shop-blog-related-products-300x184.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Desktop_image-shop-blog-related-products-768x472.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Desktop_image-shop-blog-related-products-600x368.jpg 600w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Desktop_image-shop-blog-related-products-150x92.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 816px) 100vw, 816px\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"jg-sis-mobile-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3877\" src=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Mobile_image-shop-blog-related-products.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"394\" height=\"380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Mobile_image-shop-blog-related-products.jpg 394w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Mobile_image-shop-blog-related-products-368x355.jpg 368w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Mobile_image-shop-blog-related-products-300x289.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen_Mobile_image-shop-blog-related-products-95x92.jpg 95w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 394px) 100vw, 394px\" \/><\/div>\n<h3>10. Patience is a magic word<\/h3>\n<p>Puppies wake up more often at night than adult dogs. The good news is that your pup will quickly adapt to your sleep schedule. A day full of play and activity, an empty <a href=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.nl\/product\/pawness-poepzakjes\/\">bladder <\/a>and bowels, and a cosy sleeping spot are the perfect combination. That way you give your puppy the best chance of sleeping through the night so he can dream and grow. Especially in the early weeks, try to stick closely to your routine and be patient. In the end, this will help your puppy sleep through the night because he knows exactly what to expect \u2013 and that brings peace and happiness for both of you.<\/p>\n<p>Source for the blog post \u201c10 Tips for Helping a Puppy Sleep Through the Night.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2013 Dr. Laci Schaible<br \/>\n\u2013 Katherine Eldredge<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sleeping \u2013 what dog (and human) doesn\u2019t love it?
