No, it is a common misconception that they do. Infact people think they respire as well as photosynthsise, except that more photosynthesis takes place.
According to new research this is completely untrue, and the answer is no

Many animals sleep at night to relax their nervous system. Since plants do not have nerves, the kind of sleep which animals have is not found in plants. Only some metabolic activities like photosynthesis is stoped at night that does not mean these are sleeping.

How plants respire?
Plants have two types of respiration arobic and anerobic Plants do not breathe like humans, although they respire. This is when they absorb oxygen from the air around them and in return, release Carbon Dioxide. This is different from photosynthesis where they release oxygen and take in carbon dioxide. They photosynthesise to produce glucose, and then respire to convert that glucose into energy. During the day, plants give out more oxygen, and during the night, plants give out more carbon dioxide.
