Why won't my dog sleep through the night or stop whining when I leave the room?

My dog, Windsor, is an 8 yr. old Cockapoo. He is a VERY good dog, and on a normal day he'll follow me wherever I go, and is ALWAYS sleeping. ALWAYS. But the last few nights, I have woken up in the middle of the night, and he's been sitting in the corner of the door or in front of the door staring at it like there's someone there (we close our bedroom door). He's never done this, and has always slept through the night, but I couldn't stand it because he'd start pacing back and forth, so I put him in his crate, but he stayed awake all night. He's only been sleeping during the day, and he's never done this. I also noticed that when we were visiting a friend's house yesterday, when I'd leave the room he was in he started crying so loudly you could've sworn he was dying!! And he wouldn't stop until I came back in the room. He also flat out refused to move unless I was right beside him. What I'm saying is this is NOT normal behavior for my dog AT ALL. He's NEVER done this!! I would like to know if anyone has some insight on what could be happening?? He's already been to the vet as recent as 1 week and a half ago and he checked out in good health and completely fine. Any suggestions??
My dog is also neutered. So no, he's not horny.
