How many hours do turtles sleep?

Answer 1

In my experience, turtles sleep mostly at night. I've raised and cared for Red Eared sliders, a Mississippi map, reeves turtle, Asian yellow pond turtle, and a few box turtles when I was a child. They all slept at night, although they all liked to sleep differently. For instance the map turtle ( still have) likes to sleep underwater on things that are centimeters from the waters surface. The turtles species and the individuals that I've encountered were nightsleepers.

Now an addendum to this! Turtles and Tortoises are very dyanamic creatures. They get their sleep when they need to. It seems somtimes that some of the calmer aquatic species like the Sliders and Asian pond Turtles can go into a trance while basking. I don't think a wild caught specimen would do this! Pretty much most aquatic turtles dart into the drink at the slightest suspition of danger. I this is some help.
