You\u2019re already worried about your dog\u2019s happiness and well-being the way it isn\u2019t rational. Yes, puppy blues is a real deal but it should ease up itself. Dog\u2019s sleeping schedule is one of the crucial things you should focus on in the beginning. In this article, we will see how you can adjust your dog\u2019s sleeping schedule after adoption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How will your dog sleep when he first comes home?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Each dog is different, even if they\u2019re\nsiblings. They all have different personalities and that also decides how soon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/10-ways-to-help-an-adopted-dog-adjust-to-his-new-home\/\">your\ndog will adjust to his new home<\/a>. Some dogs can get along with their new\nsurroundings just in a single day and some might even take a few months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This doesn\u2019t imply that your dog is better\nwhen it can adjust to its new settings easily. A dog will be the happiest in\nhis furever home after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.akc.org\/expert-advice\/health\/why-do-dogs-sleep-so-much\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Dogs sleep for about 12 to 14 hours<\/a> a day but they are opportunists about it when they are in shelters or living outdoor lives. Other environmental factors like noise, barking of other dogs, and visitors disrupt their sleep often. You should not be surprised if your pup decides to doze off once he finds a comfy space to lay down when you first bring him home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s because he is getting a secure, calm, and safe place away from the external environment after a long time. But as soon as your dog gets used to living with you he has to sleep through the night for about 8 hours and sleep for 4-5 more hours during the daytime. This is the most common sleeping schedule for pet dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/guillermo-latorre-kf3hrucN3jg-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4589\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/guillermo-latorre-kf3hrucN3jg-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/guillermo-latorre-kf3hrucN3jg-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/guillermo-latorre-kf3hrucN3jg-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/guillermo-latorre-kf3hrucN3jg-unsplash-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/guillermo-latorre-kf3hrucN3jg-unsplash-113x75.jpg 113w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/guillermo-latorre-kf3hrucN3jg-unsplash-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/guillermo-latorre-kf3hrucN3jg-unsplash.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em><span class=\"caption\">Photo Credit: Guillermo Latorre via Unsplash<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Routine is key<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary approach to fix your dog\u2019s sleep\nschedule is to make a routine and stick to it. If you feed him at a fixed time\nevery day, he will want to poop and pee at almost the same time. This way,\neverything will be in sync, including his sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is, however, only true for young adult\ndogs and older than that. Pups under one year of age may wake up multiple times\nduring nighttime to pee as their bladders aren\u2019t fully developed. On the other\nhand, adult dogs can go without needing to eliminate or eat over the night if\nthey\u2019re well-fed and relieved before going to bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We tend to sleep in on weekends and do not\nwant our dogs to interrupt our sleep in the morning and beg for food. Giving\ntheir last meal an hour late and a walk before sleeping will make him sleep for\nan hour longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should avoid feeding your dog first thing\nin the morning. If you do so, your dog will associate his waking up with food\nand will want to eat as soon as his eyes open. Rather spend some time getting\nready for work and feed him when you are about to leave. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dogs surely are more alert than us, even when they\u2019re sleeping. That being said, you should make sure that sunlight doesn\u2019t enter the room in the morning. A dark and calm space will help in maintaining their sleep schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/brooke-cagle-cFY1Eqyeh8Y-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4590\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/brooke-cagle-cFY1Eqyeh8Y-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/brooke-cagle-cFY1Eqyeh8Y-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/brooke-cagle-cFY1Eqyeh8Y-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/brooke-cagle-cFY1Eqyeh8Y-unsplash-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/brooke-cagle-cFY1Eqyeh8Y-unsplash-113x75.jpg 113w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/brooke-cagle-cFY1Eqyeh8Y-unsplash-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/brooke-cagle-cFY1Eqyeh8Y-unsplash.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em><span class=\"caption\">Photo Credit: Brooke Cagle via Unsplash<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Provide them clean and comfy bedding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While it\u2019s obvious that a comfortable dog bed\nis required for a goodnight\u2019s sleep, pet parents still make worse choices in\nselecting the most suitable beds for their dogs. The shape, size, and type of\nbed you choose are crucial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s much more to discuss about the right dog bed but that is another article for another time. In a nutshell, not choosing a perfect dog bed can cause discomfort. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dogneedsbest.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Kevin Ruan<\/a>, Editor &amp; Dog Lover at DogNeedsBest, \u201cprolonged use of that bed may also cause joint or bone-related medical conditions. This is especially true if dog beds for big dogs are too small.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One more thing pet parents ignore is to clean their dog\u2019s bed when it\u2019s time. They do it unless the smell coming from a dirty dog bed is not ignorable anymore. So you will need to keep it clean and hygienic and wash it every month at least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/jordan-bigelow-tQGbNuppEwA-unsplash-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4591\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/jordan-bigelow-tQGbNuppEwA-unsplash-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/jordan-bigelow-tQGbNuppEwA-unsplash-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/jordan-bigelow-tQGbNuppEwA-unsplash-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/jordan-bigelow-tQGbNuppEwA-unsplash-640x512.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/jordan-bigelow-tQGbNuppEwA-unsplash-94x75.jpg 94w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/jordan-bigelow-tQGbNuppEwA-unsplash-1200x960.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/jordan-bigelow-tQGbNuppEwA-unsplash.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em><span class=\"caption\">Photo Credit: Jordan Bigelow via Unsplash<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if your dog won\u2019t sleep at night when you bring him home?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is possible that your dog might not be able\nto sleep at night. It\u2019s okay. He is suddenly brought to new surroundings, new\npeople, and maybe new animals. Put yourself in your dog\u2019s place and you will\nrealize how overwhelming it can get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They may miss their previous caretakers,\nplace, and other dogs. So instead of sleeping, they might just want to explore\nthe house a bit and want to feel more secure. In that case, let them sleep in a\nroom with doors closed so that they don\u2019t have access to the whole house and\ndon\u2019t destroy things around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your dog looks quite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/6-tips-to-reducing-your-dogs-anxiety\/\">anxious<\/a> initially, let them sleep at the spot from where he can see you from. This will make them feel more secure and will sleep as well. However, don\u2019t let them sleep in your bedroom if you\u2019ll want them to sleep in a different room later. Plan everything ahead before you get your dog, including their sleep schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ryan-stone-FTzRYeD5lAs-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4592\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ryan-stone-FTzRYeD5lAs-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ryan-stone-FTzRYeD5lAs-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ryan-stone-FTzRYeD5lAs-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ryan-stone-FTzRYeD5lAs-unsplash-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ryan-stone-FTzRYeD5lAs-unsplash-113x75.jpg 113w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ryan-stone-FTzRYeD5lAs-unsplash-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ryan-stone-FTzRYeD5lAs-unsplash.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em><span class=\"caption\">Photo Credit: Ryan Stone via Unsplash<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Have you adopted a puppy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Things are quite different when you have a\npuppy. A pup is like a newborn child. You will need to take care of them at\nnight as well because <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/puppy-feeding-schedule-whats-the-best-schedule\/\">puppies\noften cry for food<\/a> and want to pee and poop. As I said earlier, their\nbladders are not yet fully grown and have to pee multiple times a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Provide them a comfortable bed and put many\ntoys around. This will keep them engaged if they wake up from their sleep. Pups\nalso cry at night because they\u2019re separated from their mom and littermates. You\ncan comfort them when you hear them cry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if they don\u2019t stop crying even after a few\ndays, just ignore them. It\u2019ll be tough to leave a crying pup to his bed but\nthis helps. They will stop crying. Also, you should follow a routine for your\npups as well. Try to keep things as much familiar as possible to their previous\nsetting. You can ask their previous caretaker to provide your pup\u2019s bed and a\npiece of blanket his mother used. This will help him to feel secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the many things about getting a new dog is getting them a goodnight\u2019s sleep. Sticking to a routine is the primary key to adjusting a dog\u2019s sleeping schedule. Also, don\u2019t overwhelm your dog by calling friends and family to come over to meet him on the first day. Let them roam around and explore the new home. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lastwordonnothing.com\/2015\/09\/29\/i-got-the-post-puppy-blues\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Puppy blues<\/a> are also common even if this is not the first time you\u2019re getting a dog.
