Do they make puppy tranquilizers?

I am suffering from a severe lack of sleep.  We're trying to crate train Clover and it isn't going well.  She cries, we tell her "no", she goes to sleep for about an hour.  The entire process is repeated about 5 times before I finally get up and take her out to visit the restroom.  We come back in and play:

I lay on the sofa and we fall asleep together: 

This morning I woke up with her on my back. 

I really need to put her back in the crate and go back to bed, but I don't want her crying to wake every one in the house.  I'm losing ground and sanity.  On my drive in to the office I think about the possibility of napping under my desk.

But I love her.  I love that we can stand in a big field and she will run around and then come and do this:
And eventually do this:
Which is why she doesn't sleep at night.
In other news, she loves Brown-eyed Man.  The man who said he would never love a dog that lives in the house.  The guy who said "I will not help with this dog in any way".  The guy who walks her out to the mailbox on her leash.  They guy who taught her the basics of retrieving yesterday.  The guy who picks her up and snuggles with her every time she walks past his chair.  The very same guy who has been picking up poop and letting her hang out in the shop.  HIS shop.
