I was just curious on how many hours a day turtles usually sleep?

I'd like to know that too, cause it seems mine are always awake, that or they hear my alarm clock from my room, and get up when I do...

Mine takes naps during the day and I think he sleeps through a lot of the night but not all of it. I'm not sure how many hours in total that would be.

Mine sleeps about 8-10 hours total. She often naps a bit while on her basking dock, and is quiet for 8 hours at night when the lights are off.

Ive always wondered about that, if I go down during the night for a drink, I walk by my turtles and see them all wide awake, morning, awake, daytime, usually awake, i'm quite curious myself and I think i'm gonna set up a camera one day..

My turts usually go to sleep when i do. which is around 10 o'clock. And they usually wake up around 6 o'clock.

yeah my turtle sleeps pretty much on my schedule.
and i noticed if its bad weather outside (rainy) and its hard for me to get out of bed, when i do get out of bed i notice the turtle is still sleeping.
but if its a really nice day out and you wake up easily, it seems like the turtle has been up for a while.
id say my turtle sleeps 7-9 hours. and ive seen him sleeping while basking often.
