3 weeks in and my 10 week old puppy finally slept 5 hours straight - here's what changed

Guys. FIVE HOURS. i almost cried when i woke up and realized what time it was. For the first three weeks we were getting up every 2 hours with Biscuit and i was honestly starting to lose my mind.

What changed: we moved his crate right next to our bed instead of across the room. I read somewhere that puppies are less anxious when they can smell you and I was desperate enough to try anything. Also we stopped giving him water after 8pm (vet approved this for a healthy 10 week old) and do a bathroom break right at bedtime around 11pm. Before we were putting him down at 9 and just hoping for the best.

It might be a fluke but I feel like a new person today. Anyone else have the crate next to the bed thing work for them? Wondering if we should keep it there or try to slowly move it further away once he's more settled.
