How do I get my puppies to last through the night?

MEB asked:
I’m crate training and everything seems to be going smoothly until nighttime. I have two puppies almost 4 mos. Every 3-4 hours I have been getting up and bringing them downstairs (separatly) to go potty. (12:30, 3:30, and we are up for the day at 5:30am) This is beginning to wear me out. If I ignore it they cry and howl for more than 40 minutes and I can’t stand it. Aren’t I getting them into the habit of going every 3-4 hours and how do I lengthen that time?
