It seems like a popular activity for my turtle. :mrgreen: Do you guys notice this with your turtles?

Yes, although now I'm keeping my light on 24/7 because my tank is in the garage and its a bit chilly in there right now.

My male RES was sleeping on his basking area at night for a couple of months. Room temps are low 70's so I'm not too worried.

@Handy - You don't want to have your lights on 24/7. What's water/air temp of the tank?
