They are naturally nocturnal. They prefer to sleep during the day. This is why they drive us crazy in their little wheels all night.
Hamsters are native to desert areas. Desert critters prefer to come out at night, to avoid the intense sun and heat.

yes and no, I have a Chinese hamster and he is active in day time. But he/she will sleep allot in the daytime also unless trained not to. To train a hamster to sleep at night and play in the day is hard but doable just play with them for 10 minutes every 2 or 3 hours during the day then after a few days slightly increase the play time and decrease the sleep time in the day and after a few days do it again. And soon your hamster will play in day and sleep at night.
