Long story short, we have a family dog who has recently started to keep me up at night. I sleep upstairs and my dog typically sleeps in the living room area. He gets along with everyone in my family but is particularly fond of me given that I always give him the best treats! Anyways, since my brother moved out, my dog has been coming into my room multiple times during the middle of the night and wakes me up either through licking my hands/face, jumping on me or tugging on my bed sheets. I've tried closing the door but then he ends up barking and pawing at the door which again wakes me up in the middle of the night. I love him so much but it's affecting my life personally where I am losing countless hours in the middle of the night which affects my performance at work. My brother has moved back in after his schooling however my dog still continues to come into my room.
Is there any sleeping pill or something stronger that I can take that will allow me to sleep 7-8 hours straight without being woken up no matter what? I don't want to be woken up if he barks, jumps on me or even start to lick my face. My hope is that my dog will stop coming into my room if I don't wake up and instead go back to my brother's room now that he has moved back in.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
P.S - My brother is totally fine with the dog coming into his room as he is usually up late and his job does not require him to wake up at 6:30 am every morning.
