I'm pretty sure a 15 week old puppy is not supposed to be able to hold it and sleep through the whole night. There's some formula for how long they can hold it but I can't remember exactly what it is. Something like an hour for each month of age +1 or 2. I'm sorry I can't remember exactly.
I think you're supposed to pick up the water bowl after a certain time like 6 pm and just take them out in the middle of the night till they're big enough to hold it. That's what I did.
Maybe at 4:30 take her out to potty then put her in her crate, go back to bed, and ignore her so she doesn't get the idea that she dictates what time the whole house gets up?
Good luck. I remember when mine was a puppy I felt like a sleep deprived mother of a newborn. I'm pretty sure that's normal. They are babies at that age.
