For a puppy this young I would be getting a small soft crate so that they can sleep next to my bed - but crated. You can move the soft crate around during the day to put it in whatever room you are in so she has her own place to go into/sleep but she's still near you. I would also be building up, in short incriments, the time that she can be on her own - start with five minutes and go from there.

Just because she's only six weeks old does not mean you can't introduce boundaries now. Let her up on the lounge now and it will become a habit you will have to break when she gets older. Don't forget you aren't her sibling, you are her pack leader, and it's important that you create the habits and boundaries you want her to have as an adult now when she is a pup.

You might want to have a read of this puppy development calendar to help you know what stages she will go through and approximately when:
