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.
Does your puppy spend more time in bed than you do? Or is he so drowsy he'd rather sleep than go chase squirrels? At this age, puppies should be sleeping about the same amount of time as adult dogs which is approximately 14 hours a day. The correct amount of sleep for dogs is as important as it is for humans. In the wild, with too much sleep, a dog becomes lethargic, his senses dull, and he can't hunt well. In our society, an oversleeper is more likely to get ill. If you're home all day, it's easy for you to see how much your puppy is sleeping.
