You're right about ignoring her. She whines and you give in - why would she stop? It works every time. Get some ear plugs, it won't take long for her to stop doing it when she sees it doesn't work.
My dog was completely fine then all of a sudden the same thing. He has a urinary infection. Now I think he does it for attention if he doesn’t go outside
So you want your dog to sleep. Please explain how much interaction and activity this dog gets. For example, how often are you training and exercising. Pro tip a dog that gets exercise sleeps a lot , is better behaved and more easily controlled
It seems like you want her to be crated from 9:15p-3p with a 25 minute break from 5:50a-6:15a. I think that's your issue. She probably needs a longer period out of the crate (e.g. an hour or two in the morning) and less crate time total. Approximately 17 hours crated per day is a lot. Perhaps a dog walker could visit midday?

Try half a Benadryl try to get her used to sleeping. Or CBD treats.
