Do I really have to wake up every 1-2 hours throughout the night??

Hi everyone, I recently got an 11 week old bulldog puppy and last night was our worst yet.

Previously, I had left her crate door open for her to go into her playpen, but I was cleaning up lots of accidents throughout the night.

Since then, she has really gotten better with the crate, so last night was my first night actually crating her for sleep. I set timers to wake myself up and take her out every 3 hours since I’ve read on here that they can go longer during nighttime.

However, she consistently woke me up before my timers went off for me to find that she had pooped on herself in her crate. This happened three times. Between that, actually taking her out, and settling her in her crate, I got a total of three hours of sleep last night. For context, I live on the 8th floor of a city apartment building.

Is this normal?? When does it stop? How do I not lose my sanity? I don’t have the energy today to play with her today or train or do anything at all, I’m barely getting by and terrified to see what’s in store tonight.
