The only thing that ever really solved this for me was making sure our dog gets enough exercise during the day. We got a fence for our backyard and thought we could just let the dog out and she'd be fine. Newp - we still have to walk her so that she's actually "tired."
Good luck!
^ This. My hyper schnauzer - poodle was the craziest puppy ever and would be a terror during the night and sleep only a few hours at a time. We found if she was not physically exhausted by bedtime, then she wouldn't sleep well through the night. My motto is always "a tired dog is a happy dog". So maybe doubling up the excersise they are getting now might work for everyone. Good luck!

Mobile so tagging is hard, but thank you for all the advice! We moved his crate out of our room last night and all slept through the night! We'll see if that's the same tonight; we're out late for Star Wars!
We'll definitely be trying the pushing into the biting. I've tried the yelping, I've tried pinching him just enough for him to flinch (similar to how another dog biting back would get his attention). He's just a puppy being a puppy and it'll take more time to break him than our other dog.
We've also been trying (not consistently) to give him more exercise but I'm hoping after the holidays, things will settled down enough for us to truly establish that routine.
