Yes, they are not nocturnal either. They wake up & go to sleep many times a day, but they will be up at different times day to day, since that cycle is not aligned to 24 hours. You might think they're sleeping all day, when in reality you just happen to check on them at the times that they're sleeping.

Why does your 2 gerbils seem to sleep all day and night even when you turn the light on during the day?
Gerbils have short periods of activity throughout day and night.
What part of the day do gerbils sleep?
Gerbils sleep when ever they get tired. They are not nocturnal like some other small rodent animals.
What time do gerbils sleep at?
Gerbils usually sleep at night and are awake at day, like humans. But some gerbils play at night, the person who answered before me and also my friend have the problem of their gerbils playing on their wheels at night but my friend now takes the wheel out of the cage just before they go to sleep and back in when they get up, so you can do that if you have a problem with it.
Are gerbil's nocturnal?
Of course not! They sleep during the night just like you, and should not keep you up, unless you go to bed early. They know when you sleep, and they sleep whenever they see you sleeping. They also take naps when you are gone. Gerbils love to nap, and they do not usually take deep sleeps though. They sleep when you do, but wake a little earlier. My point: Gerbils sleep when you do. They are not nocturnal, but they do nap a bit. Some breeds of gerbils are actually nocturnal. And some are not. My gerbils come out in the morning but then go to sleep again until the evening.
Are gerbils noturenal?
no they are motivated most of the day, but may take a few naps during the day.
What is a gerbils daily routine?
Gerbils are most active at night. They are not fully domestic so the sense of danger during the day still exists so they mostly sleep during the day. Every now and the. They will eat, drink, run on their wheel and play with their cage mates. Somedays they will get into fights with cagemates. At night they are highly active and run on their wheels alot. Getting alot of exercise.
