How’s your puppy not following the text book?

What ways are your puppies not following text book recommendations?

One of my examples is I’ve learned she absolutely cannot play before nighttime bed. All the experts say you want to sleep at night? Make sure they play before bed.

I tried the first weeks to wake her up to have play time around seven (her post dinner nap) but she’s way too tired. It doesn’t help her sleep later in the morning either so what’s the point? She essentially puts herself to bed at 6 or so and I wake her up at 7:30 to carry her out for a whee, back to sleep until bed, then one more carry out for whee. She won’t even walk outside herself she’s so tired.
