No. Platypuses only hunt in water for food. They dig dry burrows in riverbanks and creek banks, and this is where they sleep. They mate on land, not in the water. The female also lays her eggs in a chamber at the end of the burrow, and this is where she incubates her eggs and raises the young platypuses.
