A 5-month-old puppy needs about 18-20 hours of sleep per day. This age is a rapid growth phase, and enough sleep supports healthy development, so provide a quiet resting place and avoid frequent disturbances. Although they sleep a lot, puppies are often in light sleep and wake easily; a calm environment helps them reach deep sleep.
