I suppose the difference is that we don't have a gate and our bedroom is on the same floor as the rest of the house to which the dog has complete access - water, all the furniture she cares to crash out on and her basket.
She never wants to get up in the mornings. We are up by 7 and sometimes we have to encourage her out to the garden after we've had our breakfast. She's a lazy toad.
