Hi all,
Does anyone have tips/insight on how to adjust a puppy's schedule to the clock change, or how long it might take?
I have a 4 month old who I'd fallen into a good routine with: bathroom break followed by bedtime between 12:00 and 1:00 am, and then she'd generally sleep solid in her crate until 7:00-7:45 am every morning.
Since the clocks changed, she has had problems adapting, despite the fact that the timing of her meals, bathroom breaks, etc., have shifted to accommodate the clock change. We're still taking a bathroom break at 12:00 – 1:00 am, but she's now only sleeping 5-6 hours, and waking me up at pretty much 6:00 am sharp every day for a bathroom break, and refusing to go back to bed. I can only assume it's because her body is telling her 6:00 am is really 7:00 am.
The lack of sleep is not ideal – anyone been through this, and have tips on how long I need to ride this out, or how I can get her to adjust to the time change?
