I'm not a good sleeper at all. I've always found it hard to go to sleep especially. It got worse when my old dog was suffering with his health and started to whine and bark alot at night so to avoid annoying the neighbours I used to sleep downstairs when I heard him so I was able to let him out quicker or comfort him. As time went on I'd go to bed and not beable to sleep because I knew he would start to bark and ended up going down pretty much as soon as I got in bed. When my old dpg was pts i tried to get back into the routine of sleeping again but my dp is a very heavy snorer too so this doesn't help. We have recently added a pup to our family and for the first week I slept downstairs with her until she was settled. She's now 6 months old and there are times I come downstaors to sleep due to dp snoring or me being restless. I do this quietly I do not speak to her or look at her. She doesn't come to me she stays in her bed. She's recently had a poorly tummy do me being downstairs has helped to let her out throughout the night to save any mess. My question is would this disturb the pup? Will she expect me to be down here all the time or whine if I'm not down here? I don't want to cause bad habits but downstairs is sometimes the only place I can settle and get some sleep. Thanks
