Little to no nocturnal activity occurs. Evening activity is largely restricted to nesting females.

Terrapene_carolina)">Eastern Box turtle (Terrapene carolina)

Daily activity involves morning basking (usually on logs or on very low branches) followed by a period of foraging in the afternoon (Carr and Houseal 1981). A second period of basking may follow foraging. Evening activity is largely restricted to nesting females. Little or no nocturnal activity occurs.

No, the leatherback turtle is not nocturnal, but the females prefer to lay their eggs on the beach night so they are not seen as easily.
