Puppies are like human babies, they need to sleep constantly. I doubt you remember your infant years so ask your mother how much you slept as a baby, I'll bet you slept a lot. Assuming that you've had your puppy checked

out by your vet when you first got him or her, your puppy probably sleeps a lot because she's a puppy.

Dogs can be very similar to people. Some rise extremely early and some may sleep later. If your dog is not well exercised they are more likely to wake up early in the morning. It would be wise to take your dog for a walk in the early evening or at least have a good playtime of half an hour or more to tire your dog out.

How much time does a dog have to sleep?

It depends on several factors. One would be the age of the dog. A older dog will typically sleep much more than a puppy. It also depends on what they have going on.
