    If she wants out, you be responsible and get up and let her out unless you want to clean up after her.

    Unlike you, your dog can't open the door and go to the bathroom whenever she wants. She relies on the humans that are responsible for her to do that.

    If she sleeps in your room, then get up and let her out. Obviously your parents thought you were responsible enough to have a dog, so show them that they didn't make a mistake in getting you a puppy.

    Soon puppy will sleep through the night and not need to potty as often, but right now she's still a baby. You should also limit her food and water before bed, that will help her sleep through the night without having to potty.

    Until then, you'll have to lose a bit of sleep.

    I am not sure how you can get your dog to sleep, but usually a dog sleeps when it wants to. Now I can tell you, that taking care of a puppy isn`t an easy job. You should think twice about keeping your dog, because it is a lot of responsibility and by the look of things, you can handle it. Your puppy wants to go out and you have to take her out, it`s that simple. I know that we all get tired at some point of our day, but we got to do what we got to do and I mean the right thing. Good luck.

    If you are not willing to take the proper care of your dog, then maybe you should not have a dog. Puppies are babies. They need extra attention and more guidance then an adult dog.

    Shame on your parents for allowing you this responsibility. You are obviously not mature enough to care for another living creature.
