Something to remember about puppies is that they need sleep-lots of it, just like babies. Your puppy will need about 18-19 hours sleep in every 24. So only expect 4 to 5 hours of being awake and only about an hour at a time. If they're kept awake and playing, you could both be heading for a stressful time.
Hours and Activity. There are no hard and fast guidelines for how much sleep a puppy should get, but it's generally a little more than a full-grown dog. For example, an adult dog who sleeps 12 to 16 hours each day would probably sleep closer to 15 or 20 hours per day as a 12-week-old puppy. While breed, age and size are all influential factors, so is activity.
